Apr 28, Colombo: World Cup excitement is reaching fever pitch in Sri Lanka with the much awaited Cricket World Cup final to start this evening, Sri Lanka time.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who is now in Barbados to watch the final match, yesterday met the Sri Lanka team and wished them good luck.
The sun has now risen on Kensington Oval, Barbados, where the world champion will be determined.
Regardless of the outcome, this stellar team will return home as heroes. A motorcade will wait for them at the airport in Katunayake to escort them to a national greeting at Independence Square.
The Postal Department has announced that four stamps will be issued if Sri Lanka wins the Cup. Two stamps will be issued if Sri Lanka is the second best.
The Sri Lankan style is in start contrast to others in the region, where players are abused despite this level of international success.
