Live Reporting: World T20: Sri Lanka World champion, defeat India by 4 wks

Mirpur: India stormed into the finals after defeating South Africa in the semifinals by 6 wickets and is now ready to face Sri Lanka in the final of yet another ICC championship after 2011 World Cup.With the middle order in its extremely attacking form, it would be hard for the Lankan bowlers to sneak into the batting line up. Virat Kohli who led India to the final will be a tough challenge for Sri Lanka. If India wins the World T20, it will be the first team ever to win the ODI World Cup, Champions Trophy and World T20 together.Sri Lanka's strength would be its bowling department which is performing consistently. The thing which would worry them is the poor form of their top order. It is the solid start that they are not getting. They struggled against West Indies in the semifinal but their bowlers did the job for them. The team will try to win the title in their third attempt in the final of world T20. Also this would be the last T20 world cup for Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, so the Lankans would try to play their best and win the championship for them as farewell gift.TeamsINDIA: RG Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, SK Raina, V Kohli, AM Rahane, MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, RA Jadeja, A Mishra, B Kumar, MM SharmaSRI LANKA: MDKJ Perera, TM Dilshan, DPMD Jayawardene, KC Sangakkara†, AD Mathews, HDRL Thirimanne, NLTC Perera, KMDN Kulasekara, SMSM Senanayake, HMRKB Herath, SL Malinga*Here are the updates: Sri Lanka is the new ICC World T20 Champion17:4 : Ashwin to Perera, SIX17:3 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, 1 run17:2 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, FOUR17:1 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, mis hit, FOUR17:0 : 119/416:6 : Mshra to Sangakkara, 1 run16:5 : Mshra to Perera, 1 run16:4 : Mshra to Perera, dropped, 2 run16:3 : Mshra to Perera, SIX16:2 : Mshra to Sangakkara, 1 run16:1 : Mshra to Sangakkara, FOUR16:0 : SL 104/415:6 : Ashwin to Perera, no run15:6 : Ashwin to Perera, WIDE15:5 : Ashwin to Perera, no run15:4 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, 1 run15:3 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, no run15:2 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, FOUR15:1 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, no run15:0 : SL 98/414:6 : Mishra to Sangakkara, 1 run14:5 : Mishra to Sangakkara, no run14:4 : Mishra to Sangakkara, FOUR14:3 : Mishra to Perera, 1 run14:2 : Mishra to Perera, SIX14:1 : Mishra to Sangakkara, 1 run14:1 : Mishra to Sangakkara, WIDE13:6 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run13:5 : Raina to Perera, 1 run13:4 : Raina to Perera, no run13:3 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run13:3 : Raina to Sangakkara, WIDE13:2 : Raina to Perera, 1 run13:1 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run13:0 : SL 78/412:6 : Mishra to Perera, no run12:5 : Mishra to Perera, no run12:4 : Mishra to Perera, no run12:3 : Mishra to Thirimanne, OUT, caught behind12:2 : Mishra to Sangakkara, 1 run12:1 : Mishra to Sangakkara, 2 run12:0 : SL 75/311:6 : Raina to Thirimanne, no run11:5 : Raina to Thirimanne, no run11:4 : Raina to Thirimanne, no run11:3 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run11:2 : Raina to Thirimanne, 1 run11:1 : Raina to Thirimanne, no run11:0 : SL 73/310:6 : Ashwin to Thirimanne, 1 run10:5 : Ashwin to Thirimanne, no run10:4 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, 1 run10:3 : Ashwin to Thirimanne, 1 run10:2 : Ashwin to Thirimanne, no run10:1 : Ashwin to Sangakkara, 1 run10:0 : SL 69/39:6 : Raina to Thirimanne, FOUR9:5 : Raina to Jayawardene, OUT9:4 : Raina to Jayawardene, FOUR9:3 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run9:2 : Raina to Jayawardene, 1 run9:1 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run9:0 : SL 58/28:6 : Jadeja to Jayawardene, no run8:5 : Jadeja to Sangakkara, 1 run8:4 : Jadeja to Sangakkara, SIX8:3 : Jadeja to Sangakkara, no run8:2 : Jadeja to Sangakkara, no run8:1 : Jadeja to Sangakkara, FOUR8:0 : 47/27:6 : Raina to Jayawardene, 2 run7:5 : Raina to Jayawardene, no run7:4 : Raina to Sangakkara, 1 run7:3 : Raina to Sangakkara, 2 run7:2 : Raina to Sangakkara, no run7:1 : Raina to Sangakkara, no run7:0 : SL 42/26:6 : Mishra to Jayawardene, no run6:5 : Mishra to Jayawardene, no run6:4 : Mishra to Jayawardene, no run6:3 : Mishra to Jayawardene, no run6:2 : Mishra to Jayawardene, no run6:1 : Mishra to Sangakkara, 1 run6:0 : SL 41/25:6 : Ashwin to Jayawardene, no run5:5 : Ashwin to Jayawardene, no run5:4 : Ashwin to Dilshan, OUT, caught5:3 : Ashwin to Dilshan, no run5:2 : Ashwin to Dilshan, FOUR5:1 : Ashwin to Dilshan, no run5:0 : SL 37/14:6 : Kumar to Jayawardene, no run4:5 : Kumar to Jayawardene, no run4:4 : Kumar to Jayawardene, FOUR4:3 : Kumar to Jayawardene, guides through the slips, FOUR4:2 : Kumar to Dilshan, 1 run4:1 : Kumar to Jayawardene, 1 run 4:0 : SL 27/13:6 : Mohit to Jayawardene, 1 run3:5 : Mohit to Dilshan, 1 run3:4 : Mohit to Dilshan, FOUR, inside edge goes to fine leg 3:3 : Mohit to Dilshan, FOUR on leg side3:2 : Mohit to Jayawardene, 1 run3:1 : Mohit to Jayawardene, glides over the keepr's head, FOUR2:6 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dilshan, no run2:5 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dilshan, no run2:4 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dilshan, no run2:3 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dilshan, bouncer, no run2:2 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dilshan, flicks and FOUR2:1 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Dilshan, no run2:0 : SL 8/11:6 : Mohit to Jayawardene, no run1:5 : Mohit to Jayawardene, no run1:4 : Mohit to Jayawardene, no run1:3 : Mohit to Jayawardene, 2 run on leg side1:2 : Mohit to Dilshan, 1 run1:1 : Mohit to Perera, OUT, caught at mid off1:0 : SL 5/00:6 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Perera, 1 run0:5 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Perera, swing and a miss0:4 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Perera, no run0:3 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Perera, no run0:2 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Perera, FOUR0:1 : Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Perera, no runDilshan and Kusal Perera out there in the middleSri Lanka begin chaseSri Lanka will begin their chase shortlyGood death bowling by the Lankan bowlers.
