The serious end of the Cricket World Cup begins for Australia and New Zealand on Saturday in a Himalayan setting for their trans-Tasman clash — the final game of the tournament at Dharamsala. Both teams have played five games — New Zealand is placed third with eight points from four wins and trails second-place South Africa on net run-rate.

Given the topsy-turvy nature of results in this tournament, including three shock upsets so far, New Zealand will need at least two more wins in its remaining four games to guarantee a top-four spot. Australia has turned its tournament around after a poor start, losing to India and South Africa in its opening games. It was even placed 10th on the table at one stage. Since then, the five-time champions have made a remarkable recovery in terms of points and form.
