Sri Lanka, they are too strong and are good in final games, where as Pakistan at times are like South Africa when it comes to Finals.

If I had to bet, I'd say Sri Lanka for sure. They are the favourites by a long way in my books.

I really want Pakistan to win it though.

That's understood. But a it's still a heart break. If they had lost before, then everything would've been 'meh' but now, they don't have a choice.

Pakistan have no chance I feel, what happened to the West indies batting line-up is what will happen to the Pakistan line-up.

I didn't watch the last time Pakistan played Lanka, but I was told our batsmen handled Mendis better than most other teams did. If so, that is definitely a positive for us. I don't really think Pakistan are as far behind SL as it seems. Lanka's batting is as fragile as Pakistan's, but their bowling is better and their fielding well ahead.

So yeah, Sri Lanka definitely favorites, but not by much.

I think Pakistan will provide an upset again.

Though whoever bats first will probably win.

Sri Lanka are favorites.. But Pakistan are a damn good T20 team. Especially Afridi and Gul are mind blowing.

Unlike West Indies, I don't think we will be losing 3 wickets in the first over to a pie thrower like Mathews :p

Actually, now that I think about it, Kamran could get a single first ball, Shahzaib could hit the ball straight up for an easy catch, Afridi's mind could blow up, and Sri Lanka actually earn Shoaib Malik's wicket through a run out.

Hmmm. Scary thought.

Sri Lanka are the better team but you get the feeling Pakistan are on a mission here and could easily cause the upset once again.

Interestingly, the teams with the two best bowling attacks are in the final, despite the lack of depth in batting on both sides. I suppose Pakistan's batting is boosted with the return of Razzaq though.

Pakistan have made their name as giant killers, but you do have back Murali, Mendis and Malinga to outdo Afridi, Ajmal and Gul.

It looks to be a clash of Afridi v Dilshan in the batting. Both are the x-factors in the batting. Pakistan probably have the edge slightly in the bowling with Razzaq but Matthews showed some good form in the Semi so he might have sorted the 4th bowler spot.
