A very simple chase for Cricket Australia against Sri Lanka Cricket 🇱🇰.

When SL were 100-1 off 11.4 overs, we predicted their final total at 182 with a win prob ~62%. They only managed 128.

The 13th over alone dropped SL's win prob from ~50% to ~32% (Hazlewood's 3 wickets).

#SLvAus

Here are the 1st innings score predictions for NZ. Pre-game we predicted 260 for NZ, with ~10% chance of scoring less than 135.

Lowest prediction was a score of 84 at the 24.5 over mark. This was just after the Jamieson wicket when NZ were 45-7.

In terms of Serie A that 7-0 Milan thrashing seems to have secured their chances of playing UCL football next season with Juventus looking odds on to finish 5th.

The combination of Barca's capitulation and what now looks like and odds on win for Atletico looks to have all but secured a secind league title for Simeone, even assuming Real Madrid win against Granada tomorrow
