Ranatunga vs Warne World Cup Final 1996: Did Ranatunga win it even before the match started?

[@binohuan1162]

Everybody talks about Jayasuriya, Ranatunga, Vaas. Nobody talks about the real boss man - Aravinda DeSilva. What a legend. So under rated.

[@brajeshsingh2391]

Aravinda DeSilva was the best batsman Sri Lanka has ever produced but as far this match goes Australia dropped 2 vital and easy catches. First Asanka Gurusinghe was dropped of Paul Reiffel and then Ranatunga was dropped of Bevan. Had those catches been taken the match would have been a lot closer than it was. But yes Sri Lanka left a profound impact on that tournament. I mean they beat India in India twice in that WC. And Warne could not do anything in that final. But full credit to Ranatunga. He did transform Sri Lanka from being a competitor to India, Aus, Eng, SA, Pakistan to the number 1 side in the world.
