  well admit australia played very good but SL was not given the chance to prove themselves in the final. AUZ played good cricket throughout , SL improved by everymatch and many thought they were going to pull out a great win, but weather, poor organisers and the always annoying D/L method made things swinging towards the Australians. Many witnessed share I am sure that a world cup final cannot be reduced to 36 overs! and some changes during the match
