Australia History

This is the 6th time Australia will play in the semifinal and they have never loose in their previous games. In 1975 they beat England, in 1987 beat Pakistan, 1996 beat West Indies, 1999 beat South Africa and in 2003 they beat Sri Lanka.

New Zealand Semi final History

New Zealand is entering for the 5th time. They never win in their previous games. They lost against West Indies in 1975, against England in 1979 and against Pakistan in 1992 and 1999.

Sri Lanka managed to enter in the semifinal 2 times before. This is the 3rd time they will play in the cricket world cup semi final. Before they won against India in 1996 and lost to Australia in 2003.

South Africa

South Africa are the most unlucky team in the history of world cup semi finals. First time they played against England in 1992 needed 22 off 13 balls when it was rained stopped the play. By the time they needed 21 off one ball. Second time again Australia in 1999 needing nine to win off the final over, Klusener crashed Damien Fleming's first two balls for four. Klusener wanted a short single but this made Allan Donald caught in the middle of the pitch run out and the match was tied. With the advantage gained during the super six stage Australia reached the final.

An early exits of India and Pakistan and very long schedule made this tournament boring so far let us hope for more entertained cricket in the semis and in the final.
