Champions Trophy Match #3

Well, well - a match that went to script after looking like it would not! SL vs SA - it was natural to expect SA to win quite easily. But after looking like they would reach 350, SA managed only 299 in their 50 overs. Surely, that looked gettable. But, in the end SL lost by 96 runs! Looks like CT will drive another nail in the coffin of ODIs by showing the whole world how boring this format is. Hell, the IPL ...no wait, the India-Aus test at Ranchi had more excitement than these matches (that was a test that ended in a draw!). Yes, the Aus-NZ match yesterday, that finally got called off due to rain might have become exciting (NZ were in a better position than Aus when it rained), but we will never know.
Tomorrow's supposed to be the mother of all battles - India vs Pak. My bet, is that it will be a damp squib. India will have to play really really badly to lose; chances of that happening are not very high.
