The dark horses as usual is new zealand.They enter every major tournament as the dark horses anad most of the time they end up coming close and losing out.This time around they are in good form and stephen fleming is captaining them in his third world cup in succession.It is going to be very hard to predict the outcome of new zealand.They are a very good side at home but they have not yet proved their ability away form home.The west indian pitches are conducive to slow medium pace which they have in plenty.They bat deep and if they keep their form running then they should ease to the semi finals.But again New zealand are a very un predictable side and when it comes to the big games they rarely do well.This could be flemings last world cup and he will want to finish his career on a high.Its a matter of time since we know that.
