Sri Lanka will be hoping that ace spinner Muttiah Muralitharan will be fit to play along with middle order batsman Thilan Samaraweera. In fact Muralitharan had a good work out at the nets yesterday and will be determined to make his presence felt in this final. Skipper Kumar Sangakkara said that Muralitharan is fit and ready to go. “We will see how he is and will make a decision as to whether he is available for the final. The Champions Trophy is coming up in South Africa and we don’t want to rush him into anything too soon.”.
India had beaten Sri Lanka in an ODI series the last time they were here but Sangakkar said the Lankans don't have revenge on mind.
"No revenge against India. I think you learn from your past games and you move on and you face newer teams, different combinations. So, the past is past really. You cannot dwell on it too much and get lost in it. You have got to be prepared for the present and the future," he said.
The series has not managed to bring in the crowds so far with the stadium remaining mostly empty. Sangakkar blamed it on lack of facilities for the paying public.
So, let us hope that it will be a highly competitive match for the viewers.
