Big fan of Sri Lankan cricket specially the great "Arjuna Ranatunga and Arvinda de Silva". Loving memories I must say. May God bless Sri Lanka in current difficult time. Love and respect from Karachi Pakistan.
This Sri Lankan side was amazing. There were some really aggressive and technically sound batsmen. There were pacers like Vaas and Zoysa while spinners like Upul Chandana and Murali. And they had some handy allrounders like Jayasuriya and Russell Arnold. Edit : Forgot to mention their exceptionally good fielding and the fast hands of Kaluwitharana behind the stumps.
Defeating the Aussie in the final is really the herculean task. It is very dangerous team in those days which was full of legends. Hats off to Sri lankan playing eleven for the spectacular final victory.
Attapattu and Kaluwitharana was an unexpected opening partnership for Sri Lankan cricket team especially in the presence of their explosive left handed batting legend Sanath Jayasuriya.This was a rare match where Sri Lanka cricket team beat the 99 World cup champions Australia by a margin of 8 wickets.
Well.. the true story is not in this highlight package. At least 13 lbw decisions went in the favour of Kaluwitharana alone. He was purposefully defending with his pads and the Lankan umps were cheating plainly. This is the same series where Kaluwitharana ran out Gilchrist without collecting the ball, but the third umps gave him out
@@Nazeem_6621 They were the first Asians to win a test series in South Africa and whitewashes the aussies in 2016 ( even at home, that's a big achievement ).
I remember this series. Australia was unplayable those days. Especially since they got wc in 1999. The next upset was from india when we face aus in neirobi back in 2000. Yuvraj singhs debute.
Upul chandana was very hand allrounder for Sri Lanka . I have seen him contributing under pressure several times with the bat and bowl . He was a brilliant fielder of that time !

@@kamalbhattacharjee4244 That was in 2004. They lost the 1999 test series 1-0. In the 2004 series the only reason Australia won was Shane Warne. In each game Sri Lanka took lead in 2nd innings and ended up losing
Australian Kalu se nipat nahi paa rhe aur 4th down to unhe us time ke duniya ke sabse khatarnak batsman Jayasuriya ko jhelna pad rha.... kya jabardast team thi srilanka ki 90s mei...
This SriLankan team was the only team to beat the mighty aussies, 1996 WC final and then Aiwa cup 1999. They were the only team at that time i think australians were afraid of playing. Had there been sensible batting in WC 2003 SF who knows Sri Lanka might have lifted 2003 WC as well.

That's because its very much early days of Australian domination
Plus going by comments....its the umpires who got the Lankans home
@@kamalbhattacharjee4244 soo about srilanka
AUSSIES ARE ALWAYS TOUGH IN SEMI FINALS AND FINLAS EVEN THE MAKE 100 OR 150 RUNS

jayasuriya had some injury problem so he took rest and came late in the order
Kaluwitharana's glove work is underrated

Commentator Robin Jackman too. Who was on the mike when jayasuriya finish the match with a six.
Absolutely correct
Sri Lanka was a very good team from 1996 to 2011......
No 1996 to 2014 golden time from sri lanka

probably the only time I saw michael bevan getting out so early.
Those score board those dress codes those lengendary players ❤❤
Kalu single handedly took the game away from the Australia....Those were the days.....Golden days of Cricket ❤ Childhood memories ❤
Upul chandana was very hand allrounder for Sri Lanka . I have seen him contributing under pressure several times with the bat and bowl . He was a brilliant fielder of that time !
between 1998 - 1999 WC this sri lanka squad struggled alot but this tournament gave them some hope and they played really well afterwards
Probably one of those rarest matches in which Australia getting thrashed so brutally in those times
They were thrashed in the 1996 WC final as well.

Golden days of cricket
Kaluwitharana was very sad at the moment.because he got 95 runs.he will can 100 runs❤️❤️❤️
I watch that matched Jayasuriya given him strike for 2 overs but he failed to score his ton that's why jayasurya goes for biggy to win d cup

wonderful bating of Srilanka Opener
Sanath Jayasuriya, who defeated the Australians, who were a strong team at that time, were the main lion bearers.🎉

What a team Australia full of legends
But lost the match
@@sdkkc2949 not only that. They were idiots always sledging opponents
Not Players they are Legends for ever!
It's the beginning of those legends
Legends won the match 👏👏👏
Sl,aus,sa were extraordinary team with extraordinary players but time has changed things
The day has must come when all European and American continent entire nation of world took interest in cricket. ...
I remember this was right after 1999 World Cup. What a great time for cricket
The Era when even mighty Aussies were fearful of Lankans
Romesh Kaluwitharana ❤️
All time best SL XI for shorter format
Jayasuriya
Attapattu
Sanga (VC)
Mahela
De Silva
Ranatunga (C)
Mathews
Dharamsena
Vaas
Malinga
Murli
Although,I don’t like him but I would take Dilshan especially in Short format
Superb umpiring, i bet Steve Bucknor would acknowledge and rate him over.....
jayasuriya could have been given chance to score 100 to kalu
selfish fellow
True but he was the captain so was expected to finish the game
@@crypticTV no it is not. captain was not expected to finish the game. selfish bastard.

Congratulations Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Shane Warne the legendary man 😭rip
On these days Sri Lanka and Australia were dominant sides. Especially Sri Lanka was the only capable side to beat this mighty Australian squad.
I saw this match live as a teenager , The only thing I remember now is Jason Gillespie's long long run up.
Look at the commitment in the past . But now 😢
Only sri lanka and south africa can beat Australia during 96-99 era
India win the 1998 sharjah trophy against Australia
Those days matches in Sri Lanka Means only Sri Lanka can win…
Yes. You are right.
Aussies defeated them 3 - 0 in tests in their home
@@kamalbhattacharjee4244 That was in 2004. They lost the 1999 test series 1-0. In the 2004 series the only reason Australia won was Shane Warne. In each game Sri Lanka took lead in 2nd innings and ended up losing
Reason - Murali , he averages over a freaking 6 wickets per match and that is in overall pitches , in spin pitches it mustve been even more terrifying
They used to lose against India and pakistan frequently back then. They were good against non asian teams nonetheless.
World's greatest commenteter Tony creg i love that voice
This Australian team was all time best team of the world.
Jayasooriya is too good❤
Lankan then not only sri lankans the whole Cricket world love them❤️
Upul Chanda was such an underrated ODI bowler. Dont know why he had a short career.
MS dhoni spoiled his career with his herculean 183*

golden time for Srilanka. It will never come again!
අම්බෝ ඒ කාලේ..😇😇😍😍😍😍
Sri Lanka at that era most powerful side,
When they had players like Jayasuriya, Arvinda, Ranatunga, Kaaluvidrana, Atapatu, Vaas, Murali,
Malinga herath ,ajantha Mendis dislan perea Jayawardene
Yes definitely
But I am talking about 90s to 2000s cricket team Players
Jaysuriya came, conquered and finished the game in style.

Look at little kalu 👏
Sensational ❤️🔥
Srilanka cooked a Kangaroo curry that day
Kaluwithrana played best inning
Sana should have allowed kalu to get century because there was so many overs left. Other than that SL absolutely hammered to aussies all match.
I saw you Shane in Live now you will live in my memory and pictures and books rest in peace warny
After 96 WC Sri lanka was power house , And that was clear lbw
1996 m dar ka naam jayasurya ta 😮
On that era Srilanka was the world champion in white ball cricket.
They were almost unbeatable during the period of 1996-1998.
Srilankan legends.🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰
His highest wickets never break
Very good kaluvitarana
The SL underdogs really were fearless.
Great victory srilanka
Glenn McGrath Best Bowlers of Australia
Happy to see the smug, overweening and haughty Australians humbled for once.
Warne was very ordinary in Asia condition, Asian batsmen used to smash him all around the park.., he was good to England & SA
what a match i like jayasurya batting
Kalu ❤🔥
Those time Sri Lankan team dangerous to all time
The LBW shouts were almost plumb. I don't know what was umpire doing. Completely bamboozled.
I watched the whole match. There were at least 13 plumb shouts against Kaluwitharana alone. It was pure cheating
@Govind Nampoothiri yeh indians knows fixing better than anyone 😂😂😂
@Govind Nampoothiri but 2011 final was completely fixed ...the whole world knows that except indians 😁
Chandana was awesome.
This SriLankan team was the only team to beat the mighty aussies, 1996 WC final and then Aiwa cup 1999. They were the only team at that time i think australians were afraid of playing.
Had there been sensible batting in WC 2003 SF who knows Sri Lanka might have lifted 2003 WC as well.
