Kiwi coach says best four advanced

There can be no argument about the the World Cup semifinals, with the best four teams still alive, New Zealand coach Mike Hesson declared on Sunday.

New Zealand was the last confirmed semifinalist when Martin Guptill's stunning 237 not out set up a lop-sided 143-run victory over the West Indies in Wellington on Saturday.

The Black Caps will meet South Africa in Auckland on Tuesday in the first semifinal with Australia playing India in the second semifinal two days later in Sydney.
