Blue color is there because it's hard to tell who'll finish 3rd or 4th in group A.
A1 vs B4. WI doesn't seem to be very strong, so Pakistan is likely to win and finish 3rd in group. Australia is likely to finish first in its group as the NZ vs Aus game is being played in Australia and Aus is a better team. But anything can happen and A1 could be NZ.
A2 vs B3. As Pak will finish 3rd, it'll be facing NZ (or Aus). Since both teams are better, either is likely to beat Pak to get to Semis.
A3 vs B2. SL or Eng can finish 3rd in group A. Either way, Ind appears to be better team. However, they lost twice to England in tri cup series, so Eng might make it to semis! But in case SL finishes A3, it is more likely for Ind to make it to semis. Had Pakistan finished B2, they could've also made it to semis as they had beaten Eng in warm up game.
A4 vs B1. South Africa is going to win whether it is Eng or SL.

For semis, it'd be Aus vs NZ and RSA vs Ind (or Eng). It's going to be tough game between Aus and NZ, but likely Aus will make it to finals. Let's not forget that this semi will be played in Auckland, NZ. Aus can handle pressure easy though, plus the morale of winning cups many times before and regularly playing in Semis.
The other semi, RSA will make it to finals easy.

I prefer to see NZ vs RSA, as both haven't played finals before if I remember correctly. Aus already has 3 cups, so it's time these two earn one.
I prefer NZ to win as they used to be a bad team, but under McCullum, they have become a really good team. They also regularly make it to semis, 6 times so far. The captain really deserves the win, plus game is being played near their home.
Both teams also haven't played in finals before, so pressure will be equal.
