Australia disposed of New Zealand fairly comfortably yesterday, successfully defending a target of 240. Worryingly for England, Glen McGrath did most of the damage to the New Zealand batting order. This does not bode well for the Ashes.

Today South Africa must have been fairly pleased with setting a target of 258. However, it was blown away by Chris Gayle whose 133 not out is the highest individual score of the series so far. To date in the tournament Gayle has scored 437 runs, including 3 centuries, at an average of 87.40 runs per innings and at a rate of 90.47 runs per 100 balls. I think it is safe to say that he is in good form.

The final takes place in Mumbai on Sunday. Australia are the clear favorites, being seen as the more disciplined and professional side. But West Indies have already beaten them once in the tournament, and are of course the defending champions. There just might be an upset.
