Congrats Dhoni over entering the Finals. Dhoni seems to have got the final eleven right. Even now it may be a toss between PKumar and Ghoni. On this flat wicket SL seems to have slight edge with their better bowling attack. Better fielding and catches are must for India to win considering that both, our pacers and spinners are struggling on this flat wicket. One observation---Yuvraj seems to be playing a bit too early his CUT shot , the balls outside the off-stumps. He has got out umpteen times caught by the WK this way. He is our best finisher and needs to play longer innings.

Not in a final. The pressure and stakes are higher. Besides, if the total is close to 350, loss of a couple of wickets and an asking run rate around 8 will almost always topple the indian batsmen. WC final 2003 is enough proof.
