Unheralded Sri Lanka turned the ICC
Champions Trophy on its head as the defending champions
West Indies suffered a humiliating blow to lose by nine
wickets after making just 80 runs here in Mumbai yesterday.
Farveez Maharoof, the wrecker
of the ambitious West Indies cricket team, expressed an
over-the-moon feeling but also paid tribute to his team-mates
for Sri Lanka's unexpected nine wicket victory in the
ICC Champions Trophy here in Mumbai yesterday.
Irrespective of what transpired yesterday,
now both Sri Lanka and the West Indies team managements
must be at the drawing boards once again to work out how
they would steer through the rest of the tournament which
is also a very fine precursor to the World Cup in the
West Indies early next year.
St. Peter’s recorded a well deserved
8-3 win over Kingswood in the final of the Milo President’s
trophy inter-schools knockout rugby tournament concluded
at the Royal Complex grounds in Reid Avenue yesterday.
Thus they dethroned the three time and defending champions
to end the season in style by clinching a ‘double’
having won the league championship earlier.
