Fernando - poor World Cup.
Sri Lanka chairman of selectors Ashantha de Mel has revealed that fast bowler Dilhara Fernando has been dropped for Saturday's cricket World Cup Final against Australia.
De Mel has cited Fernando's poor performance in the tournament and in particular in the semi-final against New Zealand as the reason for his omission.
Fernando was hit for 45 runs off of his five overs against the Kiwis and failed to add to the four wickets he has taken in the tournament so far.
"Dilhara Fernando, who has taken only four wickets in six games, and who played poorly against New Zealand, will be left out of the team for the final," said De Mel.
"Farveez Maharoof, who has taken nine wickets in the tournament, will be in the team."
