New Zealand play Australia tonight to get into the semis as well.

I think New Zealand will beat Australia.

I think New Zealand will beat Australia.

Recent form would suggest so...but NZ are notoriously flakey.
I hope you're right, supporting the NZ team is like riding a roller coaster.

^ Australia is in bad shape as we saw in their game against India. If New Zealand cannot bag this game then they will have much harder time against some other teams.

Do you know who they will be playing in the semis if they get through?
I haven't actually seen the draw.
Are India on their side of the draw?

It seems like India will end up on the top of the chart in Group B which means they will face the team on the bottom of the chart in Group A. So it all depends on New Zealand's next performance. If they come on the top of the chart in Group B then they will not have to face India or else they will face India which perhaps means elimination for them.

This is the only video I could find of India vs West Indies on Youtube. It is of poor quality but it shows the West Indian fall of wickets. Enjoy!
