8 Probable Teams to enter into the Quarter finals

8 Probable Teams to enter into the Quarter finals

Group A:

1. New Zealand:

With four back to back victories, they stand right at the top of the group A table with an impressive net run rate of 3.589 .They would enter into the quarter finals.But the problem for them would be that the their first match away from home would be an eliminator. They have to adapt to the slightly changed conditions (in Australia) in order to get to the finals.(would top the table with 12 points).

2. Australia:

  In their 3 games they won:1 lost:1 nr:1. But it was a close match between Australia and New Zealand, which was won by the black caps by 1 wicket in a thrilling manner. Australia would be worried about the their match between Bangladesh which got washed off in which they would have won. Barring the weather issues, if they win all their 3 remaining games they would enter into the qf (ranking 2nd in their group with 9 points). 

3. Srilanka:

They are silently gaining the points and creeping  up the points table. So far of their 3 matches they have won 2 and are currently ranked 2nd in he group A table. They would be able to defeat England and Scotland in their upcoming matches. The possibilities for their loss against Australia are higher. So they may enter into the qf with 8 points & finishing as 3rd in the group. 

4.  England:

Their condition is really pathetic. Their bowling has not been good in this world cup. Captain Eoin Morgan should take up the responsibility to take their team safe to the shore countering the tides. England might enter the qf with 6 points and finishing as 4rth in the group.

Group B:

1. India:

They weren't the favorites. But, the team which had faced only the defeats for the past 2 months has come back strongly with 3 great victories against Pakistan, South Africa and UAE. In the form they are in they would enter the qf finishing at the top of the table with 12 points. 

2. South Africa:

Entering into the tournament as favorites, the proteas have been doing well in the tournament so far. With a number of potential match winners in their team like AB de villiers, David Miller and Steyn they are definite to enter into the qf with 10 points and finishing as 2nd in the group.

3. Ireland: 

You wouldn't have expected this team to do this well in the world cup 2015. They had defeated the WI. They have a better chance to enter the qf of this WC with 8 points and finishing as 3rd in the group.

4. West Indies:

They were defeated by Ireland in their WC opener. But they eventually notched up 2 victories and suffered a humiliating defeat to South Africa by 257 runs. But if they click as a unit they can get a qf berth (with 6 points and finishing as 4rth in the group).
