The semi finals stage of the World Cup is here and Tuesday sees New Zealand take on Sri Lanka for a place in the final. As predicted, you can bet on New Zeland at 2.10 and Sri Lanka at 1.72. This match could go either way, but we see the kiwis as value.

The second semi final pitches Australia against South Africa again. This blockbuster SHOULD see Australia play its best cricket against the current world #1 team. Expect Australia to win in a tight encounted - back Australia at 1.42 or bet on South Africa at 2.85.

Is it about time? In the never ending tournament, the Semi Finals stage is finally approaching! I don’t know what it is, but there hasn’t been too much enjoyment garnered from this CricketWorldCup - not by me anyway. A lack of close matches when the teams should have been fighting, poor crowds, elimination of what should have been top teams and a few other factors have really killed the Cricket World Cup for me this year. Perhaps I expect too much.

That being said, we’re all expecting the next week to provide the highlights of the tournament. What can we expect? Well… here are our outlandish predictions for the next week at the www.WorldCupCricket.com tournament (feel free to berate me when these don’t get up!):

1. Probably the best match of the tournament will be played on Saturday between West Indies and England. Even though these two teams have been eliminated, both will finally have a lot to play for after the announced retirement of Brian Lara. England have sustained some heavy ego blows in the past week, so they have to lift (surely!). Bet on this game now!
2. Friday sees Australia take on New Zealand in a match that won’t have too much bearing on the semi final make up (if the kiwis thrash Australia, they can move into top spot on the table). Expect New Zealand to put up a good fight but fall just short of beating the Aussies. Bet on Australia at 1.40 or bet on New Zealand at 2.95.
3. Tuesday will see New Zealand take on Sri Lanka (New Zealand vs Sri Lanka). The bookies will have trouble separating these two teams, but have Sri Lanka as slight favourites. Expect around a 3 wicket victory (or 45 runs) to New Zeland (yes, I’m putting my balls on the line!)
4. The second semi final will see Australia go up against South Africa (Australia vs South Africa). Australia will win this match comfortably at around 1.50 (that’s an early guess of their odds).
5. On Saturday April 28, Australia will take on New Zealand for the Cricket World Cup title. Although Australia will be warm favourites, they will get beaten at the death by an in form kiwi side. Ponting will be devastated!

So that’s it! Our crazy predictions for the next week at the World Cup Cricket.

Current odds to win the 2007 Cricket World Cup:

It’s a good question - because right now it looks like the Aussies are way ahead of the rest of the World in the 2007 www.CricketWorldCup.com! But can it last? Of course it can - Australia are at the peak of their form, and it really showed against Ireland. Their pace attack has strengthened and is now blowing everyone out of the water.

So, what’s it going to take to beat Australia? Many would say they can only beat themselves from here - but let’s face it - New Zealand and Sri Lanka still pose some threat to the team. It’s been shown in recent times that as soon as the Aussies are put under some pressure in situations they aren’t used to, they can crumble under the stress. It turns out that some of the batsmen don’t know what to do in pressure situations because they’ve been conditioned to come in when there is no pressure on.

Add that to the fact that the tail enders of the batting lineup have hardly faced a ball in the middle because the top of the order has been doing a great job. It could mean danger to the Aussies in the 2007 WorldCupCricket finals series.

Australia meets Sri Lanka in a few days, and you can Bet on Australia at 1.45 or Bet on Sri Lanka at 2.75.

That’s right - we’re already just over half way through the Super Eight matchs in the 2007 www.WorldCupCricket.com and there is certainly one dominant force rising to the top - The Australians!

The Aussies have just completed an easy win over England, almost killing England’s chances of making it through to the finals stage of the competition. There is a tussle in the bottom half of the table between England, West Indies and Bangladesh who all only have 1 win a piece. They will be looking for sub-standard performances from South Africa, who could easily drop out of the Top 4 after their surprising loss to Bangladesh.

But, whatever way you look at it, Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand look set to make their way through to the final rounds. The last spot is still up for grabs in our opinion.

In matches coming up, you can bet on New Zealand at 1.05 against Ireland at 9.50 in the next www.CricketWorldCup.com match. New Zealand are one of the form teams in the comp, so don’t expect them to be troubled too much by Ireland.

Then tomorrow we see South Africa take on the West Indies. Both sides have been struggling - and a win by the West Indies would see the battle for the 4th final spot swing wide open. Expect a close match with West Indies the value at 2.90. South Africa are backable at 1.41.

In other matches, you can back England at 1.22 against Bangladesh at 4.25 - England are surely value in this match?

Finally, in what is set to be a great battle, New Zealand take on Sri Lanka in a few days time. Bookmakers cannot split these two Cricket World Cup sides and have them both at 1.90 to win the match.

The www.Cricket World Cup.com is gaining momentum in the Caribbean - with less than a month of cricket’s greatest action to go. The Super Eights has had some exciting moments until now, and there are sure to be many more to come.

Sri Lanka comfortably beat the West Indies yesterday, by 113 runs. Sanath Jayasuriya hit an awesome century for Sri Lanka to help them on their way.

So coming up today we have New Zealand taking on Bangladesh. Expect an easy win by the Kiwis (they are our tip to win the tournament) after Bangladesh got spanked by 10 wickets against Australia the other day. You can bet on New Zealand at 1.04 or Bangladesh at 11.00.

In the outright tournament odds, we see the following. Also in this table is the current standings in the Super 8 portion of the www.WorldCupCricket.com tournament:

The CricketWorldCup continues and it’s getting to an exciting period of the tournmanet. We love the Super8 section because you can be sure of getting some excitement. And this is why this part is the longest period of the tournament. Unfortunately we lost a couple of great cricketing nations, Pakistan and India, but the teams left are also quality performers.

Looking at the matches coming up over the next few days, West Indies takes on New Zealand later today in what shapes as a must win match for both teams. Because of the rain delay in the West Indies last match, they didn’t even get a day of rest before this match. You can bet on the West Indies at 2.05 or Bet on New Zealand at 1.77. There has been a push for New Zealand in this game after the WI result to Australia.

Then we move onto England vs Ireland. What a surprise it would be in Ireland could bring together a victory - but don’t expect it. We’re sticking the house on England here at 1.08. If you want to look at betting on Ireland, they are 7.50. Hold on a second, England are the highly erratic team that are likely to lose 6 wickets for 20 runs. Cancel that bet! Anything can happen in this match!

The first of the Super 8s games starts at the 2007 ICC CricketWorldCup.com today - and it’s a MASSIVE match up… Australia meets the West Indies!

As we all know, One Day Cricket can swing wildly in terms of results, simply because it’s a shorter version of the game. Don’t be surprised to see the West Indies team spring an upset today. They have been going along very well to date and look set to explode on their home pitches.

On the other hand, Australia have proven their worth as tournament favourites with a pretty big victory over South Africa a few days ago. They will certainly be tough to beat!

Currently, betting stands where you can Bet on Australia at 1.42 or Bet on West Indies at 2.90.

In other Super Eight matches, England take on Ireland in a local derby of sorts. Of course, punters and bookmakers alike are expecting an easy England victory but don’t be surprised to see an upset. Bet on England at 1.07 or bet on Ireland at 8.60 with IAS BET.

Also coming up is the match between South Africa and Sri Lanka in what is shaping up as a blockbuster! Bet on South Africa at 1.78 or bet on Sri Lanka at 2.05.

The Super 8s round of the www.CricketWorldCup.com has almost been decided, with just one match remaining to decide the last eight.

India had a surprise loss to Sri Lanka a couple of days ago, leaving them desperate to have Bermuda beat Bangladesh today. If Bangladesh wins as expected, India the cricketing powerhouse that is India will miss the second round of the competition and Bangladesh will go on.

In that match, we see that you can bet on Bangladesh at 1.05 or bet on Bermuda for an unlikely victory at 9.50. This will be an interesting match for obvious reasons.

In the outright www.WorldCupCricket.com market, Australia has shortened as favourites again after an 83 run victory against the 2nd favs South Africa. Australia really do look like the front runners now.

The www.WordCupCricket.com continues in the West Indies. We have been keeping a close eye on the match results and hope to bring you further betting updates in the future, so you can bet on world cup cricket with some idea - as the tournament heads into the finals stage.

New Zealand meets Kenya later today in a match up that, on paper, seems over before it begins. However, New Zealand could go into this match expecting to win easily, and it won’t be as easy as they expect. Bookmakers seem to agree to a certain extent, where you can Bet on New Zealand at 1.08 or Bet on Kenya at 8.00.

Tomorrow, Sri Lanka meet Bangladesh in another match that seems an easy pick. You can bet on Sri Lanka at 1.15 or Bangladesh at 5.50.

And there is a VERY nice match coming up later this week when Australia vs South Africa takes place. This Australia South Africa match up could turn out to be a preview of the final, and you can BET ON AUSTRALIA at 1.62 or BET ON SOUTH AFRICA at 2.30. Those are the Australia v South Africa Odds.

Finally, I just wanted to quickly touch on the untimely passing of the Pakistan coach. It’s a truly unfortunate turn of events. It will be tough for Pakistan to regroup to play Zimbabwe on Thursday, in a match that will hold much emotion. You can Bet on Pakistan at 1.15 or Bet on Zimbabwe at 5.25.

An amazing 24 hours has transpired, with two of world crickets’ superpowers being beaten by lesser teams. In the first match of the day, India was beaten by Bangladesh by 5 wickets. Bangladesh was able to bowl out India for 191 on a good batting pitch and chased the total with time to spare.

We wondered if it would be possible for Ireland to get up against Pakistan in the next match, especially since it was St Patrick’s Day. Well, the unthinkable happened, and Ireland scored quite a comfortable victory - throwing Pakistan out of the www.CricketWorldCup.com!

So what has this done to the outright odds. The favourites are now more favoured it seems. Here are the current outright Cricket World Cup betting odds with our accurate or not so accurate comments beside them:

• Australia - 2.75 (probably too short)
• South Africa - 4.50 (impressive team)
• Sri Lanka - 6.50 (prefer others)
• New Zealand - 7.00 (watch out for these guys!)
• West Indies - 8.50 (another dark horse)
• England - 13.00 (not a chance!)
• India - 13.00 (needs unlikely improvement)
• Bangladesh - 51.00 (poor value here)
• Ireland - 251.00 (surely not!!!)

Is this a sign of things to come? South Africa smacked the Netherlands in their first www.WorldCupCricket.com match - with some absolutely incredible match statistics including Herschelle Gibbs becoming the first man ever to hit six sixes in a single over. South Africa won by 221 runs. But does this result actually mean anything for the tournament? Probably not - with outright betting odds not having changed much.

Australia still leads the betting to win the www.WorldCupCricket.com Tournament at 2.90, with South Africa at 5.25. Sri Lanka comes in on the next line of betting at 7.00 along with the West Indies and India at 8.00. The odds of England have gone out the window after their pretty sizable loss to New Zealand yesterday. The kiwis have firmed in to 8.50 with England taking a bath to 15.00. Pakistan are at 18.00 and it’s write your own ticket from there.

In interesting matches coming up, Ireland is given a VERY VERY slight chance against Pakistan after their tied match two days ago. You’ll find that you can back them at around 13.00. It is St. Patricks day after all, and stranger things HAVE happened!

The only other kind of close match coming up is the West Indies vs Zimbabwe. It would be hard to see the hosts losing this one. You can back them at around 1.04.

Come on - don’t let the poor win value odds put you off. You can find HUNDREDS of exotic www.WorldCupCricket.com bets at IASBET for ALL matches. Odds for markets like top batter (hi bat), best bowler in a match, leading batting team after 15 overs and MANY MORE!

First of all, a big congratulations must go to Ireland on their thrilling tie against Zimbabwe earlier today. This was a landmark result for the Irish - but it also shows some major problems for Zimbabwe.

Regardless, the www.CricketWorldCup.com goes on in the West Indies. Coming up later today we see South Africa step out against the Netherlands (otherwise known as Holland). Certainly a match with the result almost already determined, it will be a good starting match in Group A for South Africa. Of course, South Africa are 1.01 to win this clash, but you can also bet on other match results like top scorer, best opening partnership and other exotic bets - only at www.SportingBet.com.au (click here for your $200 FREE!)

Also today, we see England come up against New Zealand in what will be a VERY interesting encounter. England hit some form at the end of their Australian tour, while New Zealand have also just come off a huge winning series against Australia. The bookmakers are having trouble spliting these two sides for this World Cup Cricket match, but have instated New Zealand as favourites at 1.80, with England at 2.00. This will be a cracking match!

Then on Saturday Bangladesh take on India in what is tipped to be a very one sided affair. Have your way with India at 1.14 or get on Bangladesh at 5.50. Could this be a close match? Probably not!

With the first match of the 2007 www.CricketWorldCup.com out of the way - we’re looking ahead to a busy schedule of cricket over the next six weeks. The host nation (West Indies) beat Pakistan in the first match overnight. Many are tipping the Windies as the dark horses for the tournament - and they did provide enough proof vindicating this in their first match.

Day two sees the first Group A match between Australia and Scotland at Warner Park. Even with Australia being sure things, it is doubtful many will be backing them at 1.01. If you’ve got Scottish blood, then you’ll probably be interested in them at 34.00!

In a more interesting match (although not great quality), we’re looking forward to the Group C match between Kenya and Canada. Kenya leads the betting in this match at 1.23, with Canada at 4.25. This is a game of unknown quantities, but the bookies reckon Kenya will get up!

In other CricketWorldCup.com matches coming up, the much written about Bermuda team walks into the fire against Sri Lanka. The Bermuda warm up match results have not swayed the bookies where you can bet on them at 26.00 - think Sri Lanka will win? Back them at 1.01!

Finally, for now, Thursday WORLDCUPCRICKET also sees Ireland take on Zimbabwe at Sabina Park in their Group D clash. We expect this to be a close fought encounter that the bookmakers allow you to bet on Zimbabwe at around 1.55 and Ireland at 2.45. Ireland are the value bets here, and don’t be surprised to see it go down to the wire in this www.WorldCupCricket.com.au match!
