Day 110 Watched the T20 World Cup- first match

Today was the T20 World Cup 2014 opening and the first match was between Sri Lanka and South Africa. I was, once upon a time, a big big fan of the Sri Lankan cricket team but for a very long time I have not seen any matches. It was refreshing to watch Sri Lanka playing so well and walking away with a great win in an extremely tight match where the victory was sealed only in the final over. In fact, the odds were actually stacked against Sri Lanka. 

There are so many new faces in the SL team and not surprisingly I didn't even know who the captain was until I watched the game! My favorites are still Sangakkara, Mahela and Malinga. I think I am in love with cricket again and hope the team would continue the perfect winning streak that they have been maintaining during the recent past!
