13:00 local, 11:00 GMT 1st Semi Final - E2 v F1
Newlands, Cape Town

Sat 22
18:00 local, 16:00 GMT 2nd Semi Final - E1 v F2
Kingsmead, Durban

Mon 24
14:00 local, 12:00 GMT Final - TBC v TBC
New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg


My guess is Pakistan or Sri Lanka v South Africa for First Semi Final and Australia v New Zealand or India for second Semi Final.

Actually it should be the other way. NZ or India v Australia First Semi and South Africa v Pakistan or SL .

Every side has too many issues for mine besides Australia and Sri Lanka who I don't think they will have too much trouble advancing to the final, although I can see SA getting there if everything goes right for them.

Australia are pretty certain to reach Final unless they wobble against NZ in the Semi, IMO.

South Africa can definitely beat Pak or SL . This second Semi could be anybody's game....:)

Semifinals
  • Australia versus New Zealand
  • Sri Lanka versus South Africa

Australia and Sri Lanka favourites to reah finals. If they do it will be abyone's game in the finals.

Australia and Sri Lanka will cruise into the final IMO, they're a class and a half above the rest of the nations.

Nothings for sure really, Sri Lanka are looking the best, not quite ready to praise the Aussie team yet after being made to look stupid by Zimbabwe.

Im backing Sri Lanka to win this.

A Jayasuriya swansong is what we should expect.

Sri Lanka are a strong contender but I suspect they rely very heavily upon Jayasuriya and Jayawarena.

The youngster lower down the order do not come through when the top order fails but are outstanding if it does. This happens far too often for it not to be significant.

With today's pakistan win against australia, This is my semifinal line-up

Pakistan vs New Zealand
South africa Vs Australia

Finals

South africa Vs Pakistan

Lets see what really happens from now on.

Pakistan looking good for the semis atleast, but I think the Bangladeshis have an outside chance. If they beat SL (not impossible) and Pakistan have a bad day (very possible now since they have pretty much qualified),

Still my predictions:

Pakistan v New Zealand
South Africa v Sri Lanka

Final
New Zealand v Sri Lanka

Pakistan are through. Its now between Sri Lanka and Australia. (or is it going to be BD......??)

Pakistan aren't quite technically through yet, it's possible Bangladesh and Australia could finish on 2 wins along with Pakistan and knock them out on NRR. Although the chances of that happening are tiny.

Anyway I'm expecting an Australia v Pakistan final, with Australia giving Pakistan a thrashing.

After the SL win over BD, Pakistan becomes the first team to make it to the semis. I would bet on South Africa, New Zealand and Australia joining them with a possible upset coming from Sri Lanka.
