World Cup Cricket Betting Favourites Cruise Into The Final - 04-26-07
April 26 - Australia will meet Sri Lanka in the 2007 cricket World Cup final in a matchup that was expected according to the betting. Australia humiliated South Africa in the semi-final, eliminating what many considered to be their only serious rival to the title of World Champion.

Sri Lanka also romped home in their semi-final against New Zealand. The Black Caps once again stumbled in the round of four, and were dispatched by 81 runs.
That semi-final looked like a close encounter compared to what transpired yesterday between Australia and South Africa. The Proteas were finished within 10 overs as Australia's bowling attack reduced them to 27-5. If Gibbs hadn't stood his ground after getting a clear edge soon after that it is doubtful they would have made 100 runs.
Australia won by 7 wickets in their usual imperiously quick fashion. They will be odds-on to win the Final against a Sri Lankan team that appears outclassed for this match.
Australia will more than likely win their third straight World Cup Cricket championship in Barbados on April 28, and with Matt Hayden in such tremendous batting form he looks like good betting value to be the top runscorer in the Final.
