Gurmit Singh ji.. I think ur General Knowledge is weak. Except for 1996 World Cup which Sri Lanka eventually won, They have never beaten India in the world Cup. 1999, Saurav and dravid scored big centuries and India won by some 100 runs odd. In 2003 again India ended up beating Sri Lanka.

Sure, Sri Lanka seems to be stronger than India, but you are wrong when you say Sri Lanka has won all the matches against India in World Cups. In the last World Cup India had defeated Sri Lanka by 183 runs in the Super Six round. India had scored 292 and Sri Lanka were bowled out for a mere 109.
I do not think that it is impossible for India to defeat Sri Lanka tomorrow. But I agree, Sri Lanka are the favourites.

Gurmit you are wrong. The last 2 World Cups India gave a pasting to the Lankans. 1999 I think India won by over 150 runs and in 2003 I remember SL being down 4 wickets with not even 10 on the board. Of course they did beat India in 1996 and way back in 1979.
