Jailed DNA Leader and former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka said it is the sincere hope of his party that the Sri Lankan cricket team would win the World Cup final and that it would be a victory similar to the Great War victory achieved two years ago.

“It is our wish that the Sri Lankan cricketers would win the final despite he present social, political and economic crisis, “he said issuing a statement.

Chief opposition whip John Amaratunga who conveyed his best wishes to the Sri Lankan cricket team on behalf of the UNP said it is his and the party’s hope that they emerge victorious at tomorrow’s match.
