No idea about WinViz, but at no time did I see NZ at a price better than 10-3 (~25%) and that was just before the Williamson wicket. I believe they were 12-1 at the start of their innings. It’s just really, really hard to maintain 10 RPO for twenty overs even with eight wickets in hand. ---

Meanwhile, SA are finding it hard to maintain 4 RPO. 44/4 in 14 overs! A rain break now though, which might give them a chance to snap out of it. ---

I’m only able to follow along on CricInfo but it must be hard for Miller and Klaasen to hunker down like this. ETA: and Klaasen has had enough. Two sixes. ---

Smart aggressive batting by Australia. Looks to be an easy chase. India will face the one team that nobody wants to face in the Final. ---

Australia’s bowlers need to score 38 runs. South Africa’s bowlers need to take 4 wickets. Odds clearly with Australia but not impossible that someone is going to step up and be a hero. (Or “do a Gareth Morgan”, as it were). ---

Every time SA get a wicket, they just need one more wicket and they’ll be right back in the game. ---

Yet again the Proteas drag out a loss in the most agonizing way possible. At least their world cup performance is consistant. ---

CWC Final AUS win toss and elect to bowl. I guess the theory is that previous games have indicated its a bit easier to chase than set. Which depends very much on how many you are chasing. IND’s final to lose. Rather large weight of expectation on them. ---

India living dangerously so far. Both openers could easily be out. ---

Australia dominating now. India has to rely on lower order and bowling. ---

Remarkably, even after the Kohli wicket, India is still favored on my Sportsbook, Caesar’s. ---

That might be due to not having to face India’s bowling attack! 🙃 They could defend a total of 200. Not getting excited down here yet! ---

With just SKY and the bowlers left, and India just barely past 200, I almost feel India should throw caution to the wind and whack away. This might give their bowlers a better chance, with the dew looming. ---

At 211-6 after 43, India still at 57% on Bet365. Punters have a lot of confidence in their bowling. ---

Aus 47/2 chasing what seems like a low 240. Aus’s to throw away, you’d think, although the Indian bowling attack is decent. ---
