Sri Lanka who failed to figure in the final of the Mini World Cup in Bangladesh, are determined to get their act together and try to win the Champions Trophy which begins in Sharjah from Friday.

India and Zimbabwe are the other teams contesting this trophy.

Swarnavahini the television people who brought you the Mini World Cup live from Bangladesh will again bring the action live from Sharjah from November 6 to 13 from 4.30 p.m. onwards.

Swarnavahini have lined up many more interesting sports events to be telecast live for Sri Lankan viewers.

The cricketers we are sure would have learnt from their failures in Bangladesh and will be determined to regain lost prestige. India and Zimbabwe should not be taken lightly. They have some wonderful performers and if allowed to get going could be match winners.

The teams will play each other twice and the final has been fixed for November 13.

This is the first time that cricket will be played under lights at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE. Floodlit cricket is now the in thing and the organisers of the game in the UAE have done well to have lights installed.

Cricket fans enjoy the game under lights and the stadium should see packed crowds at every game.

This is how they will play:

November 6 - Sri Lanka vs India,
November 7 - Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe,
November 8 - India vs Zimbabwe,
November 9 - Sri Lanka vs India,
November 10 - Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe,
November 11 - India vs Zimbabwe,
November 12 - Rest Day, November 13 - Final.
