Now that Australia need 239 runs to beat Sri Lanka in the last league match of the CB ODI Tri-Series, every Indian cricket fan would be hoping for the Aussie to win today.
Reason behind this is that Australia need to win this one to 'allow' India to play in the finals.
Earlier, the 'Men in Blue' had announced earlier that they have put practice on hold till their fate is decided.
Indian skipper MS Dhoni had said after Kohli drove India to a astounding 321-run chase against Sri Lanka that with their hopes of advancing to the finals of the ODI tri-series hanging on the result of Australia-Sri Lanka match, they would take some time off.
“We are going on a couple of days of shopping, and some practice at the same time. It's not in our hands now,” he said.
Star of the match, Virat Kohli also said that for the first time this season, Team India will be cheering for Australia.
On other hand, Sri Lanka are on top of their game and even a tie can see them through to the finals and India packing their bags.
Sri Lanka captain yesterday made a strong comment when asked about their chances to make it to the finals.
“Going in to the last game it's in our control, what we need to do. It's a good position for us to be, rather than depending on someone else to do some favours for us,” said Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardena about chances.
