Legends face-off for last time in Cricket World Cup final

Sachin Tendulkar and Muttiah Muralitharan will face each other for the last time when India take on Sri Lanka at the Cricket World Cup final on Saturday.


The duel between the world's highest wicket taker and leading batsman can only add even more intrigue into what will be a fascinating match.


Muralitharan, 38, will retire from international cricket after the game. He leaves with more Test (800) and one-day (534) wickets than any other bowler in history.


Tendulkar, 37, has no retirement plans but is unlikely to carry on much longer. Despite being the most successful batsman ever with 32,785 runs including 99 centuries, Tendulkar has never won a World Cup.


Cricket tickets, including Englands test matches against Sri Lanka and India, are available now.
