It's a big ask. Pakistan's bowling is our weakest link and therefore I feel that our best chance of beating India is to bat first and score big (280+) and hope that their batsmen will make mistakes while chasing runs under pressure. If India bat first, even 250 will be a good score for them. The lack of depth in our batting could go against us during a 250+ run chase.
India have a tendency to perform below-par in the finals although they broke that jinx during their recent tri-series triumph in Australia.
I was so right....
India 106/4, Yousuf Pathan holes out to Younus Khan @ mid wicket
Great effort by Pakistan to get to 315 after a slowish start. Younis Khan silenced his many doubters AGAIN with a well-paced hundred. Well played Butt too. Pakistan seem to be in control at the moment. India still have some batting to come
