Since SL has first made it to the Final, does it mean that SL should be the hot favorites to win the Idea Cup?

Question

It would be treacherous for the SL fans if SL ultimately fails to win the Cup. For all we know, India may peak at the right time to take home the Cup!! What do you think?

Answer 1

SL are doing well as a team consistently.

India has many ups snd downs in their performance.

We can only hope it is an up during the final for India.

So far SL has always bowled frst.We have to see how they perform batting first.

Answer 2

Its definitely not first come, first serve, is it and you have also written that India might peak at the right time to win the cup, so its a possibility of sorts but SL should know, 1st they are in the final, India isn't yet and 2nd, India has a knack of giving weaker teams a chance, until they succeed in the end, they don't like to finish weaker teams, like SL does and biggest minus point India has, its record of final victories, in tri-series, so SL stands a good chance but as you said India might peak at the right time, if they beat Banglaesh tomorrow & take that winning confidence to the finals against SL.

Answer 3

After 100,000 ppl died in SL due to India's RAW. Im for Sri Lanka Cricket to be number 1. SL will not tossle no draw SL will outbowl the Indians and there batsman has the potential to change the match for SL to win all 3 test matches. I reckon SL use 3spin bowlers and 3pace bowlers to lash against these Indians who always think there number 1. However it will be a break through and test of edurance which team really wants to be number 1. SL has 3bowling options combination. Ragan Herath, Ajantha Mendis, and Muttiah Muralitharan. SL has grt pace bowlers - Mirando, Kulasekara, Prasad, Welegedera, and maybe somone else i left out. Im sure SL pace bowlers will trouble only a few Indian batsman who will try to KO them but, once some of them are out there goes India batting line-up. The SL pace bowlers will have a excellent inform approach for wickets against them Indians. The bowlers have to be at there best and outsmart the indians with their varations. SL fielding is also the best with new fielding coach which will give the LAkans a nxt level of fielding skills. My overall its not going to be no draw i can ressure you SL will win all 3test matches which will degrade India.

Answer 4

While Sl may start as favourites the beauty of sport is that you never know what will happen on the day.

Answer 5

SL has again beaten Bangladesh in the second Match. Ther chance to favourites is very strong

Answer 6

SRL is playing better than Indians as they have a clear lead in the bowling department. I think that they will win this tournament to offset the loss they had suffered in India.

Answer 7

Indin team is largely ovrrated
