No need to worry about the Pakis. Dhoni's men have taken care of them with aplomb.

There was so many instances which shows this factor already taken care of, as a final between Sri lanka & pakistan on mumbi could have been big problem for organizers....those instances are:

1.  The way Misbah played, it was looking like he was playing for India than Pakistan...
2. shahid Afridi not taken batting power play when Razzak or he was playing....
3. See the bowling analysis of Indian bowlers...I have not seen Nehra bowling such a good spells  10-32-2...

Anyway, lets enjoy our Win over Pakistan...and be ready for Lankan Tigers!!!

Now what would have been your thinking if India had lost????

Always, likewise Financial market media shapes/manipulates our thinking. Its better to stay away from this

With the way India won or rather Pakistan lost has started tongues wagging about the fixing factor.

About Misbah's batting, someone who has seen him closely will know that that's his normal style of batting, taking time to get settled and launch an assault in final stages of the match. Where his calculations went wrong was that he lost most of his partners at the other end and hence was left with a lot to do on his own.

About catches being dropped, Pakistan fielders are known to have butter fingers. And among Tendulkar's chances, two chances were definitely difficult whereas two seemed to be catchable. Umpiring decisions have been clearly visible to all on the reviews.

Where Indians scored was in handling the pressure of a big game, and having self belief.

Would be interesting to see how Sri Lanka handles itself if it comes to a pressure situation because in last two matches they have won at a canter and that too at home turf favoring their slow bowlers.
