Sri Lanka

One of the best Twenty20 cricket sides in the world who were unfortunate enough to come up against a brilliant Pakistan performance that denied them winning the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup Final in England. Up until the defeat in the final, Sri Lanka had won every game that they had played and they were brilliantly led by captain, Kumar Sangakkara. The team also includes Twenty20 Cricket Dangerman, Tilakaratne Dilshan
