Yes, with all the hype surrounding the match, the Indian team's temperament will play a major roles. All of India's loses have been close matches and it seems to have made the mistakes they can make since the top order of Gambhir, Sehwag and Sachin have not been playing together.
The runouts, bowling quality and fielding have been corrected and solved and paper India looks very good.
The only way India can lose it if they bring their level down and think too much.
Munaf has to be prepared and will bowl with more variations, slower ones, yorkers, bouncers and the length balls. As a matter of fact, you can bowl six different type of deliveries every over. Munaf is know for wicket to wicket accuracy and variation is not his cup of tea.
I would still take the risk because it will make him a wicket-taker. There will be some pace in the wicket at Mohali compared to others and wicket to wicket accuracy may not give him the numbers we want from him 10-1-44-2.
But overall this is the best team India can put together and arguments can be made on either way. If India loses will be an upset.
