India Wins the (Cricket) World Cup!!

It was a close game today in Mumbai. Everyone in India and Sri Lanka were kept on the edges of their seats watching the World Cup final. After winning the toss Sri Lanka chose to bat, and scored 274 runs. India needed just 275 runs to win the game, and they did it! Scoring 277 runs India beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets and with 10 balls to spare. This is India’s first World Cup championship win in 28 years, and a well deserved victory at that.  The host country has done it. INDIA HAS OFFICIALLY WON THE 2011 WORLD CUP!!!

…And it’s India for the Win!

So today was the cricket World Cup semi-finals, in India. The game was between Pakistan and India, and if you couldn’t already figure out the result from the title, India won. It was 260 runs to 231, and even though the scorecard was less than spectacular this victory was about national pride.  It was a tight game, but my India won (yay!). Yeah, I know I can’t hide my bias, but I can’t get too excited just yet. Now India has to get ready for the match against Sri Lanka in the World Cup final on Saturday. Congrats India!!
