Short cricket World Cup update

Quarterfinal results:

The big upset: New Zealand over South Africa, 221-8 vs. 172-10. South African bats very quiet.

The big whitewash: Sri Lanka over England, 231-0 vs. 229-6. England didn't take a single wicket; two Sri Lankans had centuries. Ouch.

The big easy: India over West Indies, 113-0 vs. 112-10. Windies only had 112 runs; double ouch.

The big exit: Pakistan over Australia, 261-5 vs. 260-6. Australia, which won the last 3 cricket ODI World Cups, won't win this one.

My pick for the championship: Sri Lanka.
