<h1>Who will Win ICC Cricket World Cup 2015?</h1>
It has taken four weeks, however the World Cup has at last whittled 14 groups down to eight and is balanced for the knockout stage.
The main month in Australia and New Zealand has seen record-breaking batting, hard work for the bowlers, soul from the non-Test playing sides and mortification for England.
As the competition plans for the quarter-finals to start on Wednesday, a scope of Test Match Special savants think back on the first round, ahead to the last-eight ties and foresee who will lift the trophy in Melbourne on 29 March.
Previous England commander Michael Vaughan: "It's being played on the best wickets on the planet, which is the reason we're seeing awesome shots from the batsmen. The pitches have been incredible for strokeplay and they additionally compensate bowlers with pace - in the event that you zip it down, you'll get something out of these decks."
Previous South Africa off-spinner Johan Botha: "New Zealand have knocked down some pins truly well in home conditions. They have swung the ball and Daniel Vettori has been fabulous with his left-arm twist, controlling the amusement. The same can be said for Australia with their forceful playing line-up."
Agnew: "I saw AB de Villiers demolish the West Indies, however in that ludicrous circumstance, I saw extraordinary character from Windies chief Jason Holder. I like the look of him and I think he will be a decent cricketer."
Sri Lanka v South Africa (Wednesday, Sydney, 03:30 GMT), - "South Africa have never won a knockout diversion. They will need to win the throw and get something on the board in light of the fact that they have lost on both events they have been asked to pursue. I don't see how panicky they get to be the point at which they pursue, there's a lot of ability there for that. Sydney will offer a bit for the spinners and Sri Lanka will have Rangana Herath back. I'm supporting Sri Lanka."
Bangladesh v India (Thursday, Melbourne, 03:30 GMT), - "I'm simply anticipating the climate. India are looking solid through the way that Dhoni gets his group up for it and how the bits of the jigsaw appear to be fitting together. They are going to take some beating."
Australia v Pakistan (Friday, Adelaide, 03:30 GMT), - "I would rather not say it, yet I think Australia will win effortlessly. The Pakistan assault is better than average, with pace and a touch of leg-twist from Shahid Afridi, yet the way Australia lost to New Zealand let me know such a great amount about how solid they are. They batted inadequately, yet just lost by one wicket. They won't bat that gravely once more. On top of that, Mitchell Starc is ablaze."
New Zealand v West Indies (Wellington, Saturday, 01:00 GMT), Botha: "A considerable measure will rely on upon left-hander Chris Gayle. Wellington isn't the greatest ground so he's got a possibility of doing something exceptional. That is the thing that the Windies need to trust for. They need to bat first and foremost, post something enormous and afterward make the weight."
"Despite everything i'm picking Australia, in light of the fact that they have the assets and the conviction that they will go ahead to win it. An Australia v New Zealand last would be an impression of the two groups that have played the best cricket so far and I trust New Zealand arrive at that point in light of the fact that they have been an extraordinary group and hosts."
