Meanwhile, despite their loss to New Zealand at Eden Park on Saturday, Australia still remain clear bookmakers’ favourites to win the 2015 Cricket World Cup, stuff.co.nz reported. New Zealand recorded a one-wicket win over Australia to reclaim the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy on Saturday, before a sellout of 40,053, but more significant silverware could be up next time the sides are seeded to meet, on March 29 in Melbourne.

A revised TAB market on Sunday had Australia as 2.85 dollars favourites to hoist the trophy at the MCG, with New Zealand at 3.50 dollars, South Africa 4 dollars, India 7 dollars and the rest rated next to no chance. On current rankings, and assuming no quarterfinal upsets, unbeaten New Zealand would host South Africa back at Eden Park on March 24 in the first semifinal and Australia would host India in Sydney.
