Most ppl think that It will be Pakistan winning 3-2. I have voted for that too but with some reservations.
I agree with Xtreme that Indian batting is balanced by pakistani late order hitting by Moin, Razzaq and Shoaib Malik. But that too depends on how big a score we chase if we bat second. And it cannot be emphasized more that it all boils down to how Pakistani bowlers fare agaisnt Indian Batting.

True.
I think this competition will come down to 2 thing..
How good Pakistani Opening bowler contain Indians and what kinda start pakistani Opening batsmen can give them.
ODIs are always a batsmen game.So having weak bowling is not as big a handicap as having weak batting.Just imagine If any team can put 290-300 on board then match is almost half won however bad bowling line up they have.Pressue of big score plays it own role. Had it been test matches I would have said differently.
SO here is my vote.India 3-2
O’ pai jaan, inna sentoo hone ki jaroorat nahi ai. tendi ka badluck kharab chal raha hai :rotato: we will win wherever we want
All we want is fair and exciting cricket from both sides. I wish both countries can play every year on each other’s land, like Ashes series. May be a short one but every year. That will boost the game of cricket more in sub-continent.
