True. As I mentioned in my earlier post, the credit goes to the rain that we saw the most thrilling final in recent times. Given that the ball was turning square form the 25th over, had this been a full ODI match it'd been mighty difficult for England to play 20 overs of Ashwin and Jadeja (and maybe some more from Raina/Rohit). So although ideally a ODI tournament final should not be decided over a 20-20 match, it actually made it more competitive.
