I always find people waste lots of time in watching cricket. After the exit of stalwarts like Sachin, Ganguly, Dravid, Ponting, Akram, Lara, and the entry of bookies in many countries and counties, there is no need to waste time in front of TV. So, I thought of helping you people by giving the verdict. So that you can also do some earning. Not by betting; but, by working in your office. With that noble thought my guess this time for the finals – Australia Vs South Africa. Winner will be South Africa. India will qualify till semi-final. After that they need to prepare for T20. So, they will pack their bags and come home. As India will play against S.Africa in Pool B match, in semi-finals India will face Australia. This will be a nail biting match. As India Vs S.Africa not possible in semi-finals, S.Africa vs Srilanka will be the semi finals. Lets think about quarter finals. The top 8 test playing nations will play the quarter finals. The probables could be as follows:
- India Vs New Zealand
- Australia Vs Zimbabwe
- England Vs S.Africa
- Srilanka Vs Pakistan
The quarter-final and semi-final schedules may be altered. However, my gut feel is the finals will be as I said. 😛 As I predicted the final, what prevents me to predict the individual matches. Based on my quarter final prediction, my prediction match-wise:

How about Srilanka vs India semi?
It will not happen. Because, then India or Srilanka will go for finals. This match will not earn more ticket money in finals in Australia compared to Aus vs SA. However, India and SL can play in Quarterfinals
