ANOTHER REPLY OF THIS MATCH IN 2015!!!

[ChageeK2]

world cup 1992 = PAKISTAN, and the next world cup 1996 = SRI LANKA....

and now it will be again, world cup 2015 = PAKISTAN,

and the next world cup 2019 = SRI LANKA.....

After Pakistan my 2nd favorite team is Sri Lanka.....I was shocked to see them lose in 2011 final..., but dont lose courage guys... Insha'Allah we will rule the world in up-coming years...good luck both teams and loads and loads of love from Pakistan......

PAKISTAN + SRI LANKA = THE GREATEST FRIENDSHIP ever....

[romesh442]

@ChageeK2, I like the 96 world cup, this is the best team, and nothing better have appeared all these years, it is useless coming to final and losing to team india, apart from Sl my second best team team pakistan... but lanka cricket is not good anymore. I've given up Sl cricket...

[atheist382]

Definitely the proudest moment in SL's sporting history..we've been in one semi final and two finals since this. Shows This was not a fluke.

Congrats to sanga's team for having fought hard.

[kirimananavindu]

My favourite team is sri lankan cricket team.

[MsSithy]

sri lanka is the bestttttttttttttttttttttttt

[atheist382]

Awesome vid.

[iLLmatic2629]

very underrated cricketer de silva. i bet if warne delivered those massive spin deliveries they would've been called ball of the century or something.

[deltaop1reload]

This was when Pakistan and sri lanka became two inseparable cricket allies...I bet none of the '96's Sri Lankan players thought that they were playing away from home...as Lahore had inundated Gaddafi stadium in support of the Lankan Lions...

Long Live SriPak cricket friendship!!

[lankalion1000]

behalf of sri lankan cricket i must salute all Pakistani who support in the final 1996 cricket wold cup.

[ambaya86]

@lankalion1000 Absolutely! :)

[noidarockstar]

cricket world cup song 2011

[fiofodiveia]

It just sooo wonderful when you can see a 3rd world country beat a developed one in sports. That's the same in football with Brazil's beautiful skills and wonderful players, 5 times World Champions

[Zamir143]

@fiofodiveia what does 3rd world country have anything to do with sports?

[Helaye]

I love you sooo much mother and I miss you soo much...

Be united as a country forget about the history, life of the refugee is a mystery.

[XPil3s]

@dinal99 speak english buddy..

[hpquickplay]

@TheBraveCatsWW

You fucked up racist people should vanish from the face from the Earth. You are nothing but a shame for your country, and nothing but a burden on Earth. It's people like you, people who thrive on separation and illogical hatred, that doom this planet. Take your moronic opinions and stuff it up your ass you dick.

PS: 'North Indian"? .. can't even say you are an Indian, you have to divide up your own country to say you are North Indian.

[hpquickplay]

@dinal99

Make the comments in such a way that you have to approve them before they appear here mate, so we dont see these damn messages from these pro LTTE propaganda machines.

[japan1ban1]

austrailia said they have security problem playing in srilanka ...... but in the final it was in lahore pakistan ...everybody supported srilanka ......

[Blaze24swamp]

@TheBraveCatsWW

Hahaha, your a '' North Indian '' ?

You already separate yourself from your own country. You dont see Srilankans and Pakistans saying, im a South Sri Lankan or a east Pakistani.

Get bummed imbecile

[kosmadari]

the music in the background is so fucking annoying, great video but the music has ruined it lol... anyways thanks for the ups..

[SuperAshahzad]

@TheBraveCatsWW alright bitch ass first off im an pakistani and fucker in ur piggy ass country people are as black as ur moms pussy, but sri lankans are 10 times better then ur shit ass country, they're more modernized and 100 time more civilized then ur moms hooker bussiness, Just to let ur raped ass know that sri lankans are better then u and u know u pigdia

[thejanwitha]

Aravinda is the best cricketer produced by lanka who always performed in important matches! Finals totally belonged to Aravinda. 3 wickets, 2 catches and century not out. What more can u expect from a cricketer?

[calvingmail]

Entire Pakistan was supporting SL.

[aliesneo]

love this game... i was rooting for india in the semifinal, but in the final it was sri lanka all the way. i met jayasuriya right after this tournament and inspite of the cup, the man of the tournament and numerous other accolades, he was humble as a chopping block. one has to admire the work ethic of the sri lankan team! they deserved this tournament, unlike eh... pakistan who won the cup in 1992 (with join winners: rain and lame ass rules for truncated games).

[imrankh68]

I remember this like yesterday. The final took place in my city of Lahore. Sri Lanka world champions. Greetings from Pakistan.

[S4CH11]

SRI LANKA FTW!

[MsBlooprince]

why bring in politics to this, this such a great clip of sri lankan winning. i hate it when tamil ppl bring up da topic war in every single occasion sinhalese dont they enjoy the moment without ruining everyones fun. there shuld be peace and learn to love everyone not just pour out with hate towards da sinhalese ppl WE ALL LIVE IN ONE COUNTRY for god sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spic173]

i dont get it

[kurtlovestorock]

awsum!!! yaaa!!

but nw it's abt time we won another major tournament!!!

[UmaraDissa1]

Oh man, such memories! Such great memories!! Thanks man

[jimmy9258]

Full of joy

[WABarnOwlPress]

I am an American who had never watched any cricket before.  I happened on this video and have fallen in love. Even in my ignorance I can see the beauty in the Sri Lankan play. Marvelous job.

[tharangafo]

and if you wanna see Sri Lankan cricket legends ...this is the video you can find every one in one team

1996 team the best of the best they easily beat the England in semi final and win the final by sending home Australia

[laktony2]

they are the best at that time

[NapolionTNT22098]

do they catch it with thair bare hands

[sllions4ever]

Sign the online petition it active now freesarathfonseka dotcom

[adee849160]

even though Arjuna is an ass hole he is the best team captain in cricket I have seen so far

[TheSriLankanLion]

That was an absolute stunner!!!!!

We had the chance to grab the trophy in the last time as well....

But it was so unfortunate that the final was affected by bad weather...

Never mind....Waiting for the next time...

Come on Sri Lanka!!!

[SuperAshahzad]

I'm a pakistani but I must say that this was a beautiful effort and Sri Lanka deserved that world cup trophy. Exellent Performance by Sri Lankan team.

[thejanwitha]

@SuperAshahzad

Pakistan Zindabad! I'm a Sri Lankan but really admire pakistan for being the best friend of our nation not only in sports but also in trivial national issues. A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED!

[SuperAshahzad]

@thejanwitha thanx bro and i have a question sri has won world cup twice right?

[Blaze24swamp]

@SuperAshahzad

No, but we came to the finals twice.

And fucking Gilchrist and the light less ground stole us another world cup win.

[zayanaful]

some ar jealous of sri lankans

[pathi666]

are they english??

[gibranm]

1975 to 2000 was the golden age of world cricket, not just in ODIs but tests also. In that span West Indies, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka all became world champions. South Africa coming out of exile also became a great cricket nation in that period.

[crickworldcup2011]

i cant wait for next world cup, tough to say who is gonna win but it shoudl be some exciting matches all the way through to the final

[DVblast05]

good job

[hiwalaproductions]

[Greenmusic48]

Sri Lanka used to be underdogs but now they are a major nation of cricketing

[ruwanhi]

sri lankans are the best.......

[AhmedM85]

The first time I ever watched a Cricket world cup <3

[Terryhasnopubes]

This was one of the single greatest historical underdog achievements in world sport. Heroes of 1996, I salute you.

[ayaazcyclops]

this was no underdog achievementmr..sri lankans were fucking amazing during those days and deserved this win!!

[Terryhasnopubes]

What are you talking about, you moron?

[panithman]

This is the match which reunited India Sri Lanka and Pakistan... The Brothers of the Field.

May it be FOREVER !!!

[gerald123ism]

@panithman Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[takla3210]

[MrDasith]

SRI LANKA RULES FOREVER

[maurice2002]

@MrDasith : Was this the last time Sri Lanka won anything of importance??

[mnnperera]

[KarraTasi]

shut up!

[aliesneo]

loved this world cup! it transformed cricket for ever! i was in india and though i was heart broken after the semifinal clash between sri lanka and india, when it came to the final, i was firmly behind sri lanka. recall this world cup came at the heels of the whole hair-murli scandal, so this is indeed sweet vindication!

[110prasanga]

great video for ever.thanks a lot for uploading it.

[ranatungadkr]

Always will remember the full toss shot by Ranatunga at 5:06

[ranatungadkr]

Lol Stuart Law is now part of Sri Lanka coaching team

[Dev0808]

[lewyovdarlo93]

well played sri lanka my faveourite cricketing nation exept england of course, btw why was warne batting at number 4?

[MrTharitha]

I wasn't even born but I feel the feeling. Too bad the 2007 WC Finale was a spoiled game. With Gilchrist being a spoil sport with a squash ball

[pathi666]

[Jetball74]

I'm an aussie and I take my hat off to the Sri Lankans in winning the 96 world cup. Well done.

[USARMz]

thank you very much my friend. you aussie fans are much better than the dumbass england fans who are always saying racist things about us Sri Lankans, simply because we play better than them

[Jetball74]

You're welcome mate. The poms are just angry and frustrated because they invented the game, yet they are still useless. :)

[uoftcosmik]

Pak + Lanka frindship Zindabad
