The Cricket World Cup delivered four superb quarterfinals this past week. South Africa dominated Sri Lanka; India eased past Bangladesh; Australia overcame Pakistan; and New Zealand won a showcase game against the West Indies in Wellington. The semifinals, will now be between, New Zealand and South Africa at Eden Park in Auckland on March 24, and Australia versus India at the Sydney Cricket Ground on March 26.

The 11th Cricket World Cup is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. After 42 Group stage matches, it’s now reached the sharp end of the tournament, with eight teams advancing to the quarterfinals. In the Group stages a team might afford a loss, but from now on the winner takes all.
