Nice to see some Yanks getting in on the action!

84 runs to win from 86 balls? Not that hard at all. We just need to keep our wickets and play smartly. Gautam Gambhir has really stepped up, still on 89, not out. Yuvraj and Raina are still to bat as well. Malinga is dangerous though, as is Muralidaran.

They're currently below the required run rate. Like steve said, they need a run per ball from this point. That's not gonna be easy

This looks like it will come down to the last couple of balls. Gambhir is closing in on a century.

Murali has been toothless. As have all our bowlers bar Malinga.

India look to have this in the bag.

Nobody has anything in the bag. It's gonna be close

It's looking like a cake-walk, put some fucking effort in!

Still one powerplay to go, it is imperative that we get a lot of runs then.

Dhoni reaches 50 with Gambhir on 90.

How is everyone watching this, by the way? Stream, tv?

What game are you guys watching?

Can't believe we've got ourselves here after 33-2

Stream, but I have been switching between like 10 different ones for six hours.

Sri Lanka's fielders are giving this away!

Gambhir didn't need to play a big shot then. Bit stupid from his part, but well bowled, Sri Lanka. Yuvraj now on.

So close to his century too. Still need a run a ball.

Dhoni

Edit: I thought Dhoni was for sure out!

So have India won this?

It sure was close.

And no, India haven't won yet.

What a waste of an appeal.

Well then, who is winning?

India need 27 from 24.

According to witcher, it's over. India has it. But I think he's just giving it the kyro jinx treatment

11 from 16 is all India need now after that boundary. And another boundary.

India 7 runs from winning now.

And 7 runs left to win after another Dhoni boundary

One hit to finish it in style.

Dhoni What a way to finish it.


Congrats to India.

Dhoni smashes it for a 6 to win!!! India are World Cup Champions!!!

What a way to go out. That was crushed by Dhoni for six to win the World Cup.

India won it?
Won a fiver then

Congrats to India.

Gutted for the Sri Lankans. They played so well, especially Jayawardena. Thank you for a great game, guys
