Both the teams played very well. India was a shade better than Sri Lanka. Yes, India should celebrate victory but it is understandable that Sri Lanka and the fans will be disappointed, but I want us to join us in the whole fun overall. It was a great game. Congrats to both teams.

First, congrats to India. But I feel Sri Lankans played really well... they made it to the finals in 2007 and again this year consistently. As a small nation they achieved something great. I'm proud the way Sri Lankans played and didn't give up till the end.

India should deserve that because Sri Lanka was struggling to come to the finals, and Sri Lanka is not good in batting or fielding. I am a Sri Lankan and I love my country and my nation even if they do not win the World Cup.
