1. "I" doesn't really make any sense here. The important point to realise is that, when there is a decision to be made, there will be two universes: one in which the decision is yes and one where the decision is no. Now, regardless of which universe you are in, you will have a self consistent history.

2. I don't know what you mean. Why does, in your example, the laws of the universe favour a decision of who wins the match over, say, someone bowls a hatrick? There will be many universes in which india win, and many in which pakistan win, but each universe in which one of the countries wins will not the same as the others.

3. What do you mean by "both things will happen in two different universes"? You need to state whether the events are mutually independent, etc..
