An amazing final as well, because once we got to the Premadasa for that final, I remember the streets around the ground were heaving hours before the game started.
And indeed, it was two games on that day because there was a women's final as well, where England were beaten by Australia.
A familiar tale.
Charlotte Edwards' side were beaten at the final hurdle by the Australian team who were getting that wonderful golden run of theirs.
through the 2010s.
But in the men's final, Sri Lanka, the home favourites up against West Indies.
And West Indies, after 10 overs, were 32 for 2.

It was quite that long ago, but indeed it was.
A tournament won by West Indies, their first title, the runners-up Sri Lanka, England falling away in the Super 8 stages, India not making it through to the semi-final, which seems a remarkable enough thing, but it was a very memorable...
couple of weeks and that's all it was back there 27 matches it rattled along that tournament across the three venues in Sri Lanka won as I say by the West Indies the women's competition running at the same time was won by Australia and and of course
