India
The moment has arrived for Team India to lift their second T20 World Cup Trophy. The only obstacle is Sri Lanka but they are no pushovers. Men in Blue won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007 but a lot has changed since then. Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni are the only players who were present in the team in 2007. The remaining players will play in their first finale as far as shortest format is concern. The likes of Virat Kohli and others will give one hundred percent to land their first major trophy in this format of the game. Ajinkya Rahane played superbly in the last game against South Africa and will partner Rohit Sharma in the final. Virat Kohli is in the form of his life while Raina, Yuvraj and Dhoni have also contributed with the bat. There won't be any change in the spin department. The trio of R Ashwin, Amit Mishra and Ravindra Jadeja will have to restrict Lankan batsmen from going for big hits. Mohit Sharma could be the only casualty after the semifinal as he couldn't ball effectively. There are chances that Mohammad Shami will be drafted in his place.
Sri Lanka
The rainbow nation is the only team which is capable of stopping India from winning their second world title in the slam bang version of the game. This is Lanka's third final, having lost to Pakistan in 2009 and West Indies in 2012. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara have already announced their retirement plans from this format after the current World Cup. These two legends will like to end on a high and it is upto them and the other players to win their maiden T20 World Cup. Dilshan, Kushal Perera, Thirimanne and Mathews could prove dangerous if they get going against the Indian team. Lankan bowling has already proved themselves in the previous matches of the event and there won't be any changes for the last game. Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara have all the variations to dismantle rivals batting lineup with Rangana Herath and Sachithra Senanayake could fox the batsmen with their turning deliveries. This team has more experience players when it comes to international cricket.
Verdict
I won't able to make a spot on prediction as both teams have equal chances of upsetting each other. Their batting is similar while there is hardly any difference in the spin department. Team which wins important phases of the match will emerge victorious in the end.
