Should a fast bowler be replaced by a particular spinner for a match on a slow and low track? Or should the XI feature an extra batsman on a flat pitch? ESPNcricinfo Team selector allows you to predict the playing XIs for every World Cup match.

1315 Both these teams had a chance to win a World Cup in the 21st century but failed against the might of a marauding Australian batsman. In 2003, Ricky Ponting plundered a century of breathtaking aggressiveness, leaving my common room in college - and common rooms everywhere in India - shell shocked. In 2007, Adam Gilchrist, with squash ball in batting glove, blitzed Sri Lanka with a century more devastating than Ponting's. I never played fantasy cricket after that final.

Australia have faded since.

India are without Ashish Nehra today, he has a broken finger. He only played the semi-final because MS Dhoni misread the Mohali pitch and millions were outraged at R Ashwin's exclusion. Nehra, however, bowled wonderfully. Who will India replace him with? Ashwin (reliable, the pitch will become a turner), Sreesanth (a gamble: match-winner on his day, problem child when it isn't) or Yusuf Pathan (a defensive move, but a possible game-breaker against Sri Lanka's spinners).

Sri Lanka are without Angelo Mathews - canny bowler, calm middle-order bat, and perhaps their second best fielder. Will they play Thisara Perera instead of Mathews? And what about Ajantha Mendis, whom India have played well in ODIs? His place has been talked about as well.

The early indications are that this pitch will turn later in the evening. It looks a typically red Mumbai surface. It hasn't been used since the stadium was renovated so it's a new surface. It will have carry and bounce, which is good for the spinners as well. Win toss and bat should be a no brainer.

1300 Good afternoon and welcome to ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball coverage of this grandest of occasions. A World Cup final between two co-hosts, one a nation of a billion and more, the other its tiny island neighbour. India and Sri Lanka were expected to be playing today when the tournament began, and here they are.

It is also Muttiah Muralitharan's final international appearance. He's injured, in more places than one, but he's not going to pass up this stage. Sri Lanka wouldn't want him to either, on one leg or none. And then there's Sachin Tendulkar, who's been playing top-flight cricket for more years (22) than he has not (16) but hasn't won a World Cup yet. India will either celebrate with him tonight, or cherish a magnificent career that sadly was without team glory.

"Fans in the subcontinent can sometimes be accused of missing the bigger picture by obsessing with individuals and certainly no one man can win the World Cup by himself. But that Tendulkar and Murali lend this World Cup final a certain poignancy and romance is unquestionable," wrote Sambit Bal on the eve of this final. "Neither deserves disappointment but that's the cruelty of sport: for one dream realised tomorrow, there will be one broken. Murali has already been part of a World Cup-winning team but, if India lose tomorrow, Tendulkar will never know the feeling."

Feeling a bit jittery now? Nothing like a few laughs to calm yourself. And no one guarantees laughs like Andy Zaltzman. "Final Day. Mumbai is excited. India is excited. Sri Lanka is excited. Cricket is excited. My breakfast dosa was excited. "Who's going to win, Andy? Don't eat me yet, don't let me die before you tell me who's going to win …"

Sharda Ugra weighed in with a mood piece, capturing the feeling around the Wankhede on the eve of this clash. A particularly resonant bit was at the end, when she mentioned the umpires. "It will be Australian Simon Taufel's first chance to stand in a World Cup final. His partner Pakistani Aleem Dar will look up to the sky and make a familiar gesture: touch his heart and then the ground. He does this in memory of the daughter he lost when officiating in the 2003 World Cup, a reminder that man comes from and returns to the earth. It is both a remembrance and a reminder that in the manic few hours before a World Cup final, it will help everyone in cricket - those on the field and those watching outside - to always stay grounded."
