The round-robin stage at the 2019 Cricket World Cup has finally come to an end, and the finals have arrived after a thrilling final day of action on Saturday (Sunday morning AEST).

After 45 matches, ten teams have become four, and the remaining matches are all straight knockout, with the next two set to determine who will play in the final.

First semi-final

India (1st) vs New Zealand (4th)
When: Tuesday, July 9, 7:30pm AEST
Where: Old Trafford, Manchester

Second semi-final

Australia (2nd) vs England (3rd)
When: Thursday, July 11, 7:30pm AEST
Where: Edgbaston, Birmingham

While Australia had top spot heading into the day’s action, they couldn’t hold onto it, falling to South Africa by ten runs at Old Trafford.

It means that they now need to hop back on the bus and head to Edgbaston for a semi-final against the old enemy England, while India will be tasked with playing New Zealand after they locked up top spot thanks to a big win over Sri Lanka at Leeds on the final day of action.

England and New Zealand have had their spots in the finals wrapped up since their match on Wednesday more or less, with Pakistan unable to pull off a miracle on Friday against Bangladesh to knock the Black Caps out of the finals.
