Can Pakistan beat India when it really matters?

Congratulations to Pak team for strong performance in the final ODI at Jaipur. But the question lingers: Can Pak team win when it really matters? The evidence so far suggests otherwise. We have a habit of losing to India in international tournaments such as the recent T20 final. We have also lost the current ODI series to India.
Are we learning anything? Or we are going to continue repeating our past mistakes?
Let's hope the Pakistanis carry their good performance in the final ODI into the upcoming Test series.
