Chasing 190+ will be no walk in the park.
Times have changed and India, especially based on recent form, will not fear playing Pakistan anywhere, b/c of the funds and political climate is not amenable to such a move.

Who knows how this match is going to end, but is anyone else (besides me) worried that India might refuse to play against us at neutral veneues if we win BOTH these matches?

The match fixing scandal was a face saving option allowing Indians to refuse playing against Pakistan at neutral venues, otherwise by the late 90s Indians were seriuosly demoralized and had resigned to the idea of winning against Pakistan at Sharjah. And I say this from my personal experience of being around lots of Indians during those years.
