Sydney/Auckland: It is a tale of contradiction for the two co-hosts of the ICC World Cup 2015. Both Australia and New Zealand, the two hosts of the ongoing World Cup made their seventh World Cup semi-finals by winning against Pakistan and the West Indies, respectively, but the record books have more mentions about the Australians because they have been the more successful from the semi-final stage onwards of the World Cup.

Both teams have played the World Cup semifinals six times but while Australia have never lost a World Cup semifinal and went on to win the title four times, New Zealand have never a World Cup semifinal.
Here is the list of semifinal results of the two teams played since 1975:
