The Rediff World Cup Chat: Prem Panicker on the semis

The best four teams in World Cup 2015 are ready to face off for the cricketing world’s top honours. Which of the four teams will face off on March 29 at the MCG?

Will it be defending champions India, who have steamrolled every team on the way to a well-deserved shot at the trophy? 

Or will the all-weather favourites Australia, who blew away a resurgent Pakistan in the quarter-finals, stop India in its tracks on Marc 26?

Will New Zealand, whose QF performance should strike terror in opponents' heart, carry forward their incredible form?
