The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 151
 Wickets : 5
 Overs : 19.2

West Indian bowlers took the match real close till the 18th over, but all the party was spilled up by Jerome Taylor's nineteenth over where he leaked up 17 runs, which ensured South Africa a berth in Semi-Finals. As top order didn't fire up, King Kallis came into rescue by anchoring the innings by his 68. West Indies had a good world cup this time around only losing their most of the matches at the death, they can look back at their good performances against England and the Australians.

The final scorecard for second innings was : 
Score: 176
 Wickets : 6
 Overs : 20.0

Umar Gul, you beauty! He has done it! defended nine runs from the last over and Pakistan just snatched the win from Bangladesh's jaws. One of the most entertaining matches ever seen in this form of cricket. Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim's partnership almost did their job but they again choked at the end. Bangladesh had a heck of a tournament by upsetting India, Australia but they lost very tight matches against New Zealand and Pakistan as they go back to their home with a great experience.

The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 157
 Wickets : 2
 Overs : 20.0

England's hopes got crushed by one of the finest Indian death bowling of Zaheer and Irfan Pathan, who defended 24 in last two overs with the opposition having 9 wickets in hand. Eoin Morgan, new batsmen couldn't handle the pressure in this situation. It can be said as Ravi Bopara was the main culprit because of his slowish innings which gave India a good advantage over their opponents. England, who were looking favourites of this tournament are eliminated and we got our four semi-finalists- India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa. England, bottled up at a vital time, as a result, they are eliminated.

The final scorecard was : 
Score: 120
 Wickets : 10
 Overs : 19.2

Brett Lee was on fire as he outclassed New Zealand's batting order by taking four wickets. Other bowlers were economical too as Australia pulled down the New Zealand innings to just 120. There was nothing in particular better in New Zealand's batting, Jacob Oram remained not out with 36.

15.1  Nathan McCullum to David Warner, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4) 
15.2  Nathan McCullum to David Warner, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
15.3  Nathan McCullum to David Warner, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1) 
15.4  Nathan McCullum to Michael Clarke, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover.  (1) 
15.5  Nathan McCullum to David Warner, The batsman looks surprised that that ball wasn't called a wide. The bowler's grinning as he makes his way back to his mark.  (0) 
15.6  Nathan McCullum to David Warner, Reverse sweep, and it's four! What an outrageous shot! The batsman is all smiles after pulling that one off!  (4)

Australia just cruised through New Zealand in this match, but it was too late now to qualify. Nevertheless, Australia ended their campaign on a high. New Zealand, who were playing extraordinary in the super 8's finally lost a match at this stage. Now, their main focus should be on the Semi-Final as they are strong contenders.
