Colombo, March 26: One would expect a cricket-crazy nation like Sri Lanka to be partial to its own team, but cricket fans in Colombo here are a slightly different breed to their Indian counterparts - their interest does not begin and end with their team, reports Mail Today
Chaminda, a taxi driver, says he is backing India to enter the World Cup final, along with his favourite Sri Lankan side.
“ I am a big fan of MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. I think with players like that who are so cool, India can beat Pakistan.
"Just seeing Yuvraj play so well against Australia makes me think India are going to enter the final, and I hope Sri Lanka get there as well,” he told the tabloid.
However not everyone is as confident about Sri Lanka's chances. “ The batting looks weak to me,” said Maroof, an autorickshaw driver.
