in association with bet365 - 24 January 2002

bet365


After a well earned mid-tournament break, the One Day circus moves to Adelaide on Saturday, with the hosts in a distinctly better position than when they arrived at Sydney. Australia have beaten South Africa twice, but are yet to register a victory over the high-flying Black Caps, who they play in the biggest game of the tournament so far.

Australia are rated favourites at 1/4 with New Zealand at 11/4. Match betting will be available throughout the game so why not have a punt while you're following CricInfo's coverage.

Top team batsman/bowler
You can bet on who will be the top batsman or bowler for either team. Ricky Ponting is again top man for the hosts (7/2) with Glenn McGrath (2/1) the top bowler. For the Kiwis, it is Stephen Fleming (7/2) who tops the batting list with Shane Bond (5/2) the leading bowler.

Super 7
Bet365 pick 7 players who will compete against each other for the "Super 7" title. Points are scored for runs, wickets, stumpings and catches, and will form a league table at the end of the game.

Player Match Bets
A selection of "head-to-head" bets are available based on Fantasy-style points for runs, wickets and catches. The scales are tipped in favour of Shane Warne (8/13) over Daniel Vettori (6/5). In the battle of the in-form quicks, Andy Bichel is favourite to perform (4/6) better than Shane Bond (11/10).

Player Performances
Eight players, including Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Chris Harris and Chris Cairns are under the spotlight in bet365's Player Performance bets. Points are earned in a similar way to fantasy cricket, and you can bet on their likely total points score.
