ICC defends decision to host World Cup final at Wankhede

Ahmedabad :  The International Cricket Council (ICC) Wednesday defended its decision to host the World Cup final in Mumbai's low-capacity Wankhede Stadium, saying it provides a perfect stage for Sachin Tendulkar to get a "fairytale" century and for India to win the title.  Responding to queries about the huge demand for tickets for the final, ICC's chief executive Haroon Lorgat said: "Can you imagine a fairytale ending with Sachin Tendulkar getting a hundred in the final and India winning at Wankhede, which is his (Tendulkar's) home ground?"
