World Twenty20 2014: Sri Lanka beat India to win title


Kumar Sangakkara guided Sri Lanka to a six-wicket victory over India to win the World Twenty20 in Mirpur and end a run of four defeats in global finals.
Sangakkara, playing his final Twenty20 international, scored 52 not out as Sri Lanka chased down 131 in 17.5 overs.
Some tight Sri Lankan bowling had earlier limited India to 130-4 despite Virat Kohli's sublime 77 off 58 balls.
Sri Lanka were beaten in the 2007 and 2011 World Cup finals and also lost the 2009 and 2012 World Twenty20 finals.
