Looks like both Lloyd and Willis think Pakistan will reach final, I really hope so. When Pakistan is a favorite to reach final, we usually fail, Allah khair karay.
Thing is, based on current form, whoever wins Pak vs India match will march into the Finals. Its that simple. And current form favors Pakistan. So experts are actually just playing it safe.

Ditto... its as simple as you mentioned.
Are we not under-estimating Indian team???? Ask yourselves, Sehvi, Yuvi and Dravi can wake up any moment.
I hope they keep sleeping until Paksitan snatches their third consecutive win.

really? i wonder what the Pak team would think about this. so the current ailing Indian side is the same that thrashed Pak in both ODI's and Tests on their own home turf a few months back? wow, that is sad. :p
^ So I guess, India is happy that they won those 2 tests and three ODIs, and all other ODIs are not important… But you see, even after 2 victories vs. Ind, Pakistan is still hungry for more. 
Go Pakistan! :k:
