Prediction: World Cup Semifinalists, Finalists and Winners

I will make a rough prediction on the teams which I expect to make it to the semis in this World cup.

Semifinalists:

Australia
New Zealand
South Africa
England

Finalists: Australia vs England (One day Ashes ?)

Winner: England?

Although people may have different opinions on this, for me England has it in them to lift the Cup (Did any team won the VB Series in Australia beating them 2 - 0 for the past 10 years?). England's win also will also be emotional because they lost three WC finals and as the country which introduced Cricket to the world and made many good cricketers (I mean foreign cricketers) through English county contracts, its time for us to back England to win the cup. I agree it will be a herculean task and needs a miracle of sorts for that to happen, but they can do it. Moreover since India is already out of the WC, its easy for me to expect England to win.

What if England does not make it? In this case I expect either NewZealand or South Africa to make it. Let this World cup be a maiden title for someone.
