ICC World Cup 2011: Preview Sri Lanka vs. Canada
Sri Lanka will start their World Cup campaign against the minnows Canada in the newly built stadium at Hambantota. To call the Sri Lankan team the host for today’s match does not seem justified as they will be as alien to the conditions as the other side. A brand new pitch can yield some unexpected results but then that is something the cricket fans will be prepared for. After all when the last time the two teams met in the World Cup, Sri Lanka finished off the Canadian resistance under 24 overs in a game that was the shortest ever in the tournament history.

A Stark Contrast
Sri Lanka are the 1996 World champions and the last edition’s finalists. Canada is still a newcomer to International cricket. The former has an impressive list of seasoned performers, with names like Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, and Muttiah Muralitharan to boot. The latter has a mix of imported and home grown U-19 players including their Indian born skipper, Ashish Bagai, the 16 year old Nitish Kumar and the oldest player in the World Cup, John Davison. The Lankan team is considered among the front runners for this year’s coveted trophy while not much is expected of the inexperienced Canadian side.
