India was fully favourite in this match, but Sri Lanka has proven it wrong. Sri Lanka had almost ensured their victory with their opening partnership. But India took control over the games by taking 4 wickets in the middle overs. That's why the betting odds was in favour of India at the moment. Arshdeep did quite well in the last over, but the required run wasn't so high. Sri Lanka has entered in the final as a first team. They lost the first match very badly against Afghanistan. No one expected such comeback from the Sri Lankan team. 19 runs were needed in the last 10 balls. I placed a bet on Sri Lanka at the moment and won it.
India was a heavy favorite coming into the match but in these pitches chasing the score is easier considering how all the teams that chased won. The biggest disappointment for India is Bhuvneshwar Kumar who bowled the second last over against Pakistan who leaked runs and now in this match he bowled the second last over and went for runs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar should bowl his quota of overs in his initial spell rather than banking on him in the later overs.
Fate of India lies on the other matches and it is highly unlikely we will see them in the final with the way things are progressing.
