Sri Lanka is playing well and am back on gambling after a small vacation. Looks like it is a crucial match for Indian women against the New Zealand. Hopefully India will win this match and move on to semis. My bets are on India today.
It is a knock out game for both India and New Zealand. India started extremely well in this tournament but have stumbled against stronger opponents. New Zealand have got both Indian openers out within the first 10 overs and will look to contain India.
Harmanpreet and Mithali both holding their ground and played responsibly. It's ok to keep 4+ run rate in women's cricket, lost 2 more wickets in another short time. Mithali has to play strong now to keep this pace.
India comprehensively outplayed New Zealand. 265 was a good score, but their bowling was even better. Their win by 186 runs is India's biggest victory in the World Cup. And it has come against a strong team, not any minnows.
This win will surely boost India confidence level to enter next knock out stage. Yesterday was Indian bowling was superb and most of the NZ top batting line up was lost within 60 runs. I didn't expect this kind of performance from NZ team but as we all know anything can happen in this cricket. Now slowly India is moving up in the points table.
I don't think India has much chance to move on to the finals as their semi final match is against Australia. They're mighty and in form, on the other side England is facing South Africa. So I think it's quite clear. It'll be England vs Australia for the trophy.
As mentioned England and Australia were the strongest team to make their entry into the final compared to the four teams that got qualified for the semi final. India seems playing good looking at the quarter final, so we cannot under estimate india. Sometimes a strong fighting could lead to the victory of India against Australia.
I feel it shall be team Australia that shall be winning it, they are not only absolutely stunning on the field and off field, there is no doubt in my mind that they shall be the winners. England was defeated by team India, but post that England has been a different team altogether, India is a mixed team, on their day, they can end the match but if they don't click, it doesn't go good. So let's hope for a exciting semi and finals and money making opportunities.
Ya it is true that Australia have performed very well but India are surprise team they can give surprise by winning it, Top Batsman if perform well then they can post a very big total, because if you want to defeat Australia then if you are batting first then you have to post a big total to defend it, same way if you are bowling first then they have to bowl and take wickets soon so that Australia score less and give a low total to India to chase it.
Sri Lanka after a good come back in batting and in second inning bowling Spinner Herath gave a good start and took 4 wicket and now Sri Lanka are in commanding position but if Zimbabwe are able to post above 200+ runs target to Sri Lanka then their winning chances are also good because Zimbabwe are also having good Spinners and now the pitch is also turning very good.
Who ever have backed Sri Lanka in high odd can take Arbitrage bet on Zimbabwe high odd as their is more game is to be played and their can be any result so being both side profit is good.
