I think SL will win this match as if you see WI struggled in group and super 8 stages they won comfortably only in Semis.... aand if SL manage to remove the Gayle early then they can thrash WI and win world cup.........Last year India hosted world cup they won now it's SL turn to win it...........
In the semis India could never have defended small total like Sri Lanka did. It would have made Aus reach finals and made the horrible AUS T20 team, ranked below Ireland, look unbeatable !

SL had crowd support plus luck. anyway, we too defeated pak many times on low totals. pl. check WC record.
they have more match winner ( thanks to IPL) they escpaed elimination by hairs breadth ( thanks to super over agsinst NZ). so they know, its now or never.

Dhoni predicted before match against S Africa that it could be India's last days in the tournament !! How correct it was !

You definitely have a point, but we also saw in WI-Aus match that apart from Gayle, Bravo, Samuels & Pollard also batted fast to help WI reach 200 plus. So, even if Gayle fails, WI still seem a strong team. Of course SL is strong too - so let us see what happens.

gayle will not perform in the final but there are more dangerous players in windies who will definitely deliver
if cris gale out on sunday without make run against srilanka then how will wendies win the match , only one man can not win whole match . it is my personal opinion , windies not win world t20 world cup on sunday 07-10-2012
But as said, Anything is Possible in Cricket, unless it is FIXED in advance .
Srilankans are very much enthusiastic and by god's grace if they are able to contain GAYLE earlier, the day will be theirs & they will very much STRIVE for that . It is their prerogative to work for their own strategy.
Watching Gayles batting and hammering is fantastic. I don't know how, but, from the start of this world cup I was constantly having the intuition that this time the world cup will be for West Indies. And now I think they will capture it.
