There are four teams left in the World Cup - and any one of them can win it.

I just hope that both games are played on good pitches because then we get to see the four best teams in the world playing in ideal conditions.

Obviously South Africa and Australia will be the game which everybody wants to watch and it is a shame that they won't be meeting in the final because I believe these are the two best sides in the world at the moment.

Australia v South Africa

It will be a very tight match again but I think if Steve Waugh can maintain his form and produce the same wonderful performance which he achieved in his last game, then that alone would be enough to put Australia through.

Can Steve Waugh reproduce the same kind of magic against the Proteas?

I would put his innings against South Africa up there as one of the best I have ever seen, and that includes Clive Lloyd's century for the West Indies in the World Cup final of 1975.

And the Aussies will also be glad to have Darren Lehmann back to full fitness so I expect the Australians to win that game.

Certainly they have the psychological advantage after beating the South Africans and if I had to tip anyone at this stage to win the entire competition it would have to be the the Aussies.

But with Jaques Kallis back and South Africa returning to full strengh, there is every chance that the Proteas could pull off a victory.

They have performed at a consistently high standard throughout the tournament and Hansie Cronje will be glad to have Kallis back to fill the void which was left in the previous game.

The bowlers who filled in for Kallis in the Super Six clash conceded 73 runs between them for no wickets.

However, South Africa are the strongest all round side in the world and if the Aussies have one weakness it is their bowling attack because beyond Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath they don't have anyone who can guarentee wickets.

There's an exciting game in prospect but my pick would be Australia because they've come good at the right time.

Pakistan v New Zealand

Everyone is writing off New Zealand for this one but I tipped them to get to the semi-finals and it wouldn't surprise me if they pulled off a shock victory over Pakistan at Edgbaston.

In New Zealand they have very similar cricketing conditions to those in the British Isles as there is a lot of moisture in the pitches and as we all know, on their day the Kiwi's have a side who can beat anyone.

In Chris Cairns they have a good all-rounder and their leading-wicket taker Geoff Allott has taken the World Cup by storm.

They also have a man who will be keen to maintain his form in Roger Twose and he has proved the England selectors wrong with a number of outstanding displays in this World Cup.

Probably the best thing about the New Zealand side is that they all chip in to produce a great team performance, but whether they can overcome Pakistan is another question.

Australia and Pakistan in the final

Pakistan do possess a world class opening bowling attack and I think New Zealand may struggle to contend with Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar in the heat of the semi-final.

Pakistan's fielding can also be inconsistent and on a bad day their batting can be irratic too, but I would tip them to progress into the final in this tournament because Saqlain Mushtaq is an awesome one day bowler and he could make the difference.

I predict that the final will be between the Aussies and Pakistan but I think that Steve Waugh's boys will prove too good for New Zealand's conquerers.
