Women Wold Cup-India2013-----Srilanka Vs India,a conflict of identical teams

Today,the 5th of Feb2013 at the Brabourne Stadium at Mumbai it was literally a coflict of two identical equal teams Srilanka&India.Srilankans are as good as the Indian Women ,if not better.Both the Teams have good strikers&bowlers. Sometimes one might be wondering whether the Women are better than men in all the departments of the Glorious Game of Uncertainty. Srilankans when they play Indians are generally lucky to win toss.In the case of women also this peculiarity was not different today. After electing to bat first ,on winning toss,the Srilankan openers began disasterously with thye fall of first wicket for just 4 runs on the board. But the lionesses did not stop there with their usual roaring with the Bat The second wicket partnership produced 117 runs to take the total to a healthy one Taking the score to 121 for 2 in the 25th over.Thanks to Mendis& Rasangiga who made 54&84 respectively to their individual score.there after,the next two came to the crease Captain Siriwardene& Kausalya added 59&56 runs more respectively . Finally in 50 overs the Srilankans women,despite decline in between ,posted a highly challenging Score of 282 for 5 wickets in the allotted 50 overs. Indian women too started their innings in the D/N match disastrously with the losswicket for Just 6 runs on board in the 3rd over. Like the Srilankans women ,I McKay women also started buillding slowly & steadily with capt. Mithali Raj& Kamini,the century maker on the inaugural day against the West Indies. INSPITE of all their reputation in the past & in the recent match against West indies,the indian women appears to be heading for a painful defeat in this match as wickets are on the fall one after another as is the curse with men'steam usually.it looks this women team is also going to prove the General belief that a host nation is not likely to be successful in the World cup as is obvious from the pitiable state of the score card which indicates 69/44 in 22nd overs The Indian women still need 214 runs from 28 overs which is highly unlikely The chances for an Indian victory is very remote. India has just crossed 100 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in the 30 th over.183 more from just 120 Balls is herculian Task.so India is rapidly moving towards a humiliating defeat against the neighbours.these kind of happenings are not unusual in cricket.a very recent nstance is just Yesterday when the mighty PAK suffered an unusual defeat against SA at Wanderers in which the first Innings total of Pakistan read 49 ( all out) Let us convince that it is just not the day of India.the honors belong to SriLanka whose batting talent looked exemplary. All the Best to the Srilankan women in the super six format of the cup SreedharanMundanat 5th Feb2013 20-40 hrs(IST)
