Aussies will lose. It’s written in the law, says Sri Lankan fans

In Sri Lanka numerous religious ceremonies have been held to bless the team. The prayers of well-wishers of all communities are flying all the way to Barbados to strengthen the power and the skills needed to score the final victory.

The three other Asian cricketing nations – India, Pakistan and Bangladesh – too are hoping that the Sri Lankan team will do better than their 1996 Cup-wining match, defeating Australia, and bring home the World Cup once again.

There is no doubt that in trying to be too smart AI has put its foot in the wrong place and hit its own wicket. It will take a long time for AI to live down its “Damn-nasty” image in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lankan team, however, ignored the politics of AI and went on with their game, playing by the rules, of course.
