World Cup 2015: The Quarter Finalists Head to Head

World Cup 2015: The Quarter Finalists Head to Head: A month has passed since the start of cricket’s mega-event. The group matches have concluded and eight teams, better than the rest, now stand aloft fighting for a pride in the knock-out stages.

Each match is a ‘Do or Die Game’. You have to be your best for every ball bowled if you have to succeed. The team who will up to their mark on the day that matters will progress further. Each team is just three consecutive wins away from eternal glory. One mistake and you could be going home.
