Hope India wins cricket World Cup

New Delhi (PTI) - Sending his best wishes to the
Indian cricket team for their World Cup final match against
Sri Lanka, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday hoped
that the 'Men in Blue' win the trophy.
"Keep it up is all I would say. I hope India wins," Singh
said when asked about his message to the Indian cricket team.
Singh, however, will not be travelling to Mumbai to watch
India play Sri Lanka on Saturday.
"I will be in Assam then," he told reporters on the
sidelines of the Padma awards function at the Rashtrapati
Bhawan here.
"The whole nation joins in wishing the Indian cricket
team," he said adding that he would be watching the game as he
gets time.
Singh had invited Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza
Gilani to watch the World Cup semi-final at Mohali where India
defeated Pakistan by 29 runs to set up the title clash with
Sri Lanka.
President Pratibha Patil and Sri Lanka President Mahinda
Rajapaksa will be in Mumbai to watch the World Cup final.
India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh were co-hosts of the
sporting event.
