India and Sri Lanka will continue their battle for ODI supremacy when they clash in the final match of the Tri- nations Trophy in Dhaka. They have already played against each other twice in this event as well as faced off for nearly two months before that there are no secrets between the two teams. They know strengths and weaknesses inside out and so will be prepared for any contingency. The ODI series in India showed that the team that keeps concentration on the day will end up holding the trophy.
The fielding will be crucial and Sri Lankans have certainly showed a lot more commitment than the Indians have. India have some of the finest fielders in the world including Kohli, Jadeja, Raina and Yuvraj and Dhoni. Gambhir, Harbhajan and Sehwag have safe and good throwing arms but it is in the extra effort or the lack of it at the boundary in the final overs of the innings that India gives away some runs which can be critical in a close game. If India can somehow make more fielding efforts, then they will be a formidable team since their batting and bowling is top class.
Amit Mishra has certainly made a place in team after his crafty bowling in the two games he has played. Dhoni and the Indian selectors have to think about including him into playing XI for the final match.
A leg-spinner can be a match turner in limited overs matches. Dhoni is only worried about Yuvraj Singh as he was dismissed twice playing down the wrong line. Yuvraj is a world class player and just requires a little to get back to form. His bowling is also useful as Dhoni can use him as a part timer.
The most pleasing thing through-out the series has been the form of Virat Kohli. He has grabbed the opportunity after Tendulkar rested for the series. He has performed with batting at the highest caliber. Gambhir has not been so consistent but hard-work can improve his performance as well. India have just a few issues left about their batting. Since Zaheer Khan is back in the bowling line so for the final, the bowling will be in good hands.
An opposition team with players like Dilshan, Sangakara, Samaraweera and Jayewardene, no bowling attack can feel safe. Along with other players, if Tharanga gives some time out in the middle then Sri Lankans can put a huge score on the board. There is Perera in Sri Lankan squad who can tear an attack in the final overs so it does promise to be a great final. Sri Lanka have a better record in a multi-nation tournament than India and the final will finally decide after encounters that which is the better ODI team.
