So predict how you see things playing out for the ICC WC 2015 IN Aus/NZ -
Here are the groups:
Pool A
Pool B
So this is how I see the groups shaping up, with each team in qualifying order -
Pool A
Australia
New Zealand
England
Sri Lanka
Bangladesh
Afghanistan
Scotland
Pool B
South Africa
India
West Indies
Pakistan
Ireland
Zimbabwe
UAE
For info the Quarter-Finals and the rules, see here: Finals - Schedule | Cricket Fixtures - Cricket World Cup 2015 Schedules | ICC Cricket
Quarter Final 1
Sri Lanka v South Africa, at the SCG 18th March
Winner: South Africa
Quarter Final 2
England v India, at the MCG 19th March
Winner: India
Quarter Final 3
Australia v Pakistan, at the Adelaide Oval 20th March
Winner: Australia
Quarter Final 4
New Zealand v West Indies, at Wellington Stadium 21st March
Winner: New Zealand
According to the rules, if both NZ and Australia qualify but don't play each other then the semis will be held in home venues for the two host nations, which is the case also in my scenario.
So:
Semi Final 1
New Zealand v India, at Eden Park 24th March
Winner: New Zealand
Semi Final 2
Australia v South Africa, at the SCG 26th March
Winner: Australia
