Windies qualify for the Super 8s

Daily Result: £61.91

Not much to say really. I didn't really trade the match between West Indies and Zimbabwe but more just put some money on the Windies and kept an eye on the match. The result was never really in danger and as I didn't want to get tied up on the subsidiary markets today there wasn't much to do.

Although they weren't particularly inspiring the Windies wrapped up the win with 6 wickets in hand. Good for the tournament, and the competition atmosphere in general, that the host team is through and I doubt we've seen the best of them yet. Happy enough that they made me £60 today though.

You always felt someone was going to feel the backlash of India's defeat to Bagladesh and unfortunately for Bermuda, the lowest ranked team in the tournament, they were India's next opponents. India smashed a record cricket world cup score of 413 which included 18 sixes! It all made for great viewing before India took to the field to wrap up the victory by 257 runs.

Tomorrow's games are also pretty short-priced affairs so I doubt there will be much doing on the ourtight markets. South Africa are alreadys 1.01 against Scotland and with New Zealand 1.08 against Kenya. Might get involved in one of the games though am hoping to make it to the gym for a leisurely swim so might just leave the games for the day.
