Dambulla, India: India and Sri Lanka have played 14 ODI tournament finals and India emerges on top just by 1 win more than Sri Lanka’s 6 final wins. The past records do not favor either, but last 5 finals and host nation favor Sri Lanka as favorite to win the Micromax SL Triangular Series 2010.
Reasons Behind India’s Loss in Final
India and Sri Lanka have played each other in record 14 finals so far. India has won 7 and Sri Lanka has won 6 of them. One of them was abandoned and both shared the trophy. Yet, considering the past record in final, SL will be the favorite to win. In fact, considering the see-saw performance of Indian teams where they have lost one heavily, won next with bonus, against lost by record number of balls left, and then won with bonus, it is time for them to suffer another heavy defeat.
