Cricket World Cup 2015 | Knock out stage - Australia by a sledge | The large number of games against variety of teams has allowed most teams to get used to the conditions and improve on their records in Australia and New Zealand. Bangladesh has been the outperformer while England has been the under performer in the group games. Given the momentum into the knock out stage is critical, we have weighted group games record at 70% and 2014 ODI records at 30% for the knock out stage of the competition. The big improvements in Sri Lankan batting, Indian bowling and in Pakistan overall has brought the predicted margins closer than previously expected. Final: Australia V South Africa: Both teams are well matched in all facets of the game. Australia's home ground advantage is negated by the lack of a quality spinner.
