While India and Pakistan secured a berth in the final four stage of the tournament from Group 2 after the biggest upset of the tournament which saw the Netherlands beating South Africa, New Zealand and England have made it to the semis from Group 1.
New Zealand will be up against Pakistan in the first semifinal at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Wednesday, while India will take on England in the second semifinal at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
