William Hill can report one way traffic for the first World Cup semi-final with almost 90% of the early money for Sri Lanka, who are 4/6 to beat New Zealand at 11/10. Hills offer 11/2 that Sri Lanka get to 100 without losing a wicket and 25/1 that both openers score a hundred. Muralitharan is 16/1 to manage five wickets with Malinga 10/1 to take five.
Stuart Broad has been well backed to replace Andrew Strauss as the next England ODI Captain and he has been cut from 16/1 to 7/1.
“Punters are all over Sri Lanka after they demolished England and many think New Zealand are the weakest of the remaining teams,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
