India won the toss and will bowl | |||
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the twentieth match in the 2007 Cricket World Cup and this is what World Cup's are all about. It's India against Sri Lanka in the fascinating Group B from the Queen's Park Oval in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. | |||
Sadly, though, this most antipated World Cup in the Caribbean will be forever tarnished by the shocking news filtering through last night that Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was murdered in his hotel room in Jamaica last Sunday. This news has shaken the cricketing world to its core. | |||
Despite this, the tournament continues and a defeat for either of these sides could mean a surprise early exit. With Bangladesh only left to play Bermuda, that would ensure they close on four points but a win for Sri Lanka will mean it's goodnight for India. But if Rahul Dravid's side pull off a victory, it is going to be down to net run-rate so all eyes will be on the measure of Bangladesh's expected victory over the Bermudans to see who goes through. But today's game is going to be massive. | |||
The twentieth game of the tournament, at Queens Park Oval, is the 55th match to be staged on this famous old ground. The first game held on the ground was back in March 1983 with West Indies won by 52 runs. All of Group B's games have been played here and today's will definately be the most exciting after four fairly one sided games to date. | |||
These two teams are fairly regular opponents and this is the 95th time that they have met in ODIs. The latest was in a four-match tournament in India that the home side came through by two games to one with the first game being rained off. India hold a 49-36 advantage over their Asian neighbours with an incredible nine games being abandoned. | |||
Brian Lara is the leading run-scorer on this ground with 1276 in 30 matches (average 55.47) while Curtly Ambrose holds the record for the most wickets taken with 24 from 21 games (average 26.87). | |||
The highest individual score for India v Sri Lanka is 183* by Mahendra Singh Dhoni at Jaipur in 2005/2006 and Saurav Ganguly with 183 at Taunton in the 1999 World Cup. | |||
The highest individual score for Sri Lanka v India is 189 by Sanath Jayasuriya in Sharjah in 2000/2001. | |||
The best bowling performance for India v Sri Lanka is 6-59 by Ashish Nehra at Colombo in 2005. | |||
The best bowling performance for Sri Lanka v India is 7-30 by Muttiah Muralitharan in Sharjah in 2000/2001. | |||
Aleem Dar of Pakistan and Daryl Harper from Australia take charge in the middle for this game with Steve Davis as third umpire and Ian Howell fourth. Jeff Crowe of New Zealand is the match referee. | |||
