Based on all the talk of the impact of dew on the surface during the tournament, I would want to wait for the coin toss before wagering.
Since October 22nd, by my count, 24 out of 35 games were won by the side batting second (68.6% win rate). If you ignore the games involving a huge underdog (Scotland, Namibia, etc.), the win rate becomes 18/24 (75%).
Based on that I would be backing NZ pre-toss given they're at 2.52 odds to win the tournament on Betfair.
