India is 70-30 favourite, now ..If they loose the toss that becomes 50-50..Regarding Murali or no Murali will not be big factor..In the 46 times that Sachin and Murali have crossed paths, however, Murali has got him only five times; Sachin has managed 8 tons and 12 fifties.
It will be the new bowler that indians have not faced may be problem, seeing India's past history, specially Sachin..he loves getting out to new comer..We need to play Sri-Lankan slow bowlers from over 20 to 45 very well, and thats where Yuvi, Dhoni, Virat/Yosuf and Raina needd to click big..one of them have to score 100 followed by 2 of them getting fast 30s.. Good luck India, fortune favours brave..Just be calm as you guys have taken lot of heat during Pak match, must be emotinal drainage..so will not be tension during finals..

iF YUSUF INCLUDED HE HAMMERS LIKE ANY THING, SEE HOW HE SCORES BUT, DHONI IS TO MAKE UP HIS MIND TO STRENGTHEN BATTINGM ALSO.
this is just a mind trick to distract team India... adding the preparation for us. there is no way murali won't play his last ODI... and neither is a good replacement for matthews

Mathews was with a runner in the previous game..if he carries it will he be given a runner
when you have 4 reserves why call Vaas and Randiv..I guess you will have to pick up from the remaining, rather than getting new..Sri Lanka should be denied this facility by ICC..

:) Every team except India always cheats 100% of the time and we wouldn't have lost a single match since 1932 if that wasn't the case... I also noticed that Taufel and Dar are going to be big cheaters, in case the result doesn't go our way, the same way Taufel cheated big time in the Semi finals by giving Sehwag out LBW when the ball was clearly going for a wide...

Nice one.:-)
I do not know why we Indians cry foul. This whole world, an unprecedented 6 week long with all comfort given to Team India with all sponsors,BCCI, ICC putting all of their money to make sure that Team India and Only Team India should win this world cup and these people make most of it.

if Murali and Mathews both play Sri Lanka will be a strong team..but Mathews if he come in with a previous injury, he should not be provided a runner by Dhoni
