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.

certaily munaf patel is an important player in this gane who can choak the pakistanis of its runs and ashwin too who can spoil the rhythm of pak batting in the initial overs..and the hurricane sewag,tendu,gambhir can destroy pak bowling... all in all india will win this match hands down..there wont be much contest at all
India should score 350 plus given the flat wicket at Mohali. There is no way Pakistan can score more than 275. If India bats first, it will be a victory by 100 ;plus run. If Pakistan bats first then India will win by 8 wickets. Although SL will be formidable opponent, Dhoni lifting the cup at Wankhede is ineviatble.

Well said... The only thing Yusuf needs to think about is that he needs to play... :)
Too bad you coached him to play only if Sehwag scores a Zero. If Sehwag even crosses 10, then your coaching prompts Yusuf to think that his duty is done and he's free to score a Zero on Sehwag's behalf (which Sehwag forgot to do)... :)

Only way you can take Sehwag and Tendulkar out is by removing them physically. I don't think Gul or anyone else can take them cheaply. Either one of these 2 will hit a century today.
