Chances are the Sri Lanka and India could meet up in the upcoming matches in ICC World Cup 2011, but that didnt stop the Mumbai crowd from rooting for the southern neighbours.

Kumar Sangakkaras century was greeted with a standing ovation, while a straight six from the swishing blade of Muttiah Muralitharan produced a prolonged cheer that made Murali grin in his inimitable way.

However the loudest the crowd got was during New Zealands innings, when Lasith Malinga charged in from the pavilion end. The reason? Malinga has played for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL for three seasons, and was one of the chief factors in their run to the final of the third edition in 2010.

Whether Sri Lanka get to the final or not, Malinga will certainly be back at the Wankhede in April, as he will play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 4.
