COLOMBO—Seamer Ravi Rampaul is upbeat about today’s World Twenty20 final and says West Indies is confident of beating hosts Sri Lanka. “It’s the first final I’’m into so it’s up there [on my list of important achievements]. It probably will be a nerve-wracking one but I’’ve got to believe in myself and believe in my ability,” the Trinidadian said yesterday. “The guys are confident. We came here to win the tournament and we are just one game away. All the guys are confident, we’re sticking together, we’re moving as one and the camaraderie and gelling of the team is really good. We have a good chance.”
West Indies powered into the final with a convincing 74-run drubbing of Australia in Friday’s semifinal. Rampaul was instrumental in the victory, snaring three for 16 from three overs and four balls, as Australia went under for 131 all in response to the Windies’ 205 for four. “I’m very happy with the performance. I didn’t have the best start to the T20 tournament and I’m feeling confident now,” he said. Rampaul has proven difficult to handle with the new ball, picking up eight wickets from six matches in the tournament. (CMC)
