After long I am writing about cricket....Not much joy recently since that WC win. However the match played yesterday brought some interesting facts and these ifs and buts is what make cricket such a wonderful sports. For every match that ends, brings lots of trivia and nostalgia around it. Lets have a look at some of the interesting facts: facts which makes this match aptly a Tie...
1. India and Srilanka scored 15 fours.
2. Both the teams hit two sixes.
3. The dot ball played was 166:163 (Sri Lanka:India)
4. Both the teams lost 9 wickets.
5. Both teams bowled two maiden over each.
6. Both team gave away 8 extras.
7. Both team lost their first three wickets under the score of 100.
8. Both team lost their 9th wicket on 49.5 over , both run outs.
These are too much a similarity and statistical delight.
Having said that controversy also evolved around one missing ball. Skeptics may say it could have gone either ways. However that ball brought around 11 results. And only one could have served Sri Lanka, one would have made no effect and all other 9 favouring India. There could have been some outcomes where 1 to 6 runs could have been scored. One outcome of a dot ball. There could have been two instances where either a no ball or a wide would have been bowled and there could have been a dismissal. Now of all these scenario only one favors Sri Lanka.
Whatever it was this was a match to watch.
