Famous Indian astrologer gives his daily predictions for the World Cup matches
South Africa v Netherlands
A match between Netherlands and number one ranking team South Africa is not a real contest.
Most of the South African players may not take this contest seriously and may throw their wickets unnecessarily. According to our calculation, in this list Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers will be quite in evidence. Mars of Mark Boucher, Saturn of Herschelle Gibbs and Moon of Loots Bosman are on the ascendancy. Andre Nel and Makhaya Ntini will also shine as a bowler since their Jupiter is very supportive.
Some of Netherlands' players will also show their grit as planets are on their side. Adeel Raja, Peter Borren and Tim de Leede will put up a strong face as Venus, Mercury and Mars are are supporting them respectively. But this is a one- sided match and obviously we all know who is the winner.
England v New Zealand
England and New Zealand have brutally beaten defending champions Australia of late.
Michael Vaughan will lead his side from the front as his Moon is matching very well with the day's Moon when the match is being played. He will be fully supported by Paul Collingwood and Andrew Flintoff as their Mercury, Mars and Saturn are on the ascendancy respectively.
New Zealand are equally strong as most of their players are going to shine today. The Moon of Shane Bond, James Franklin and Peter Fulton's Dragon's head is very strong. The result tilts towards England.
- Astrologer Ajai Bhambi's will be giving his predictions before every game.
Are you superstitious about your team's chances in this World Cup? Is it okay for sportsmen to be superstitious before they go out to perform?
His predictions are absolutely wrong. It was very clear after the Pakistan v. West Indies match.

Nothing wrong in predicting before a match. But he should certainly have some knowledge of who is playing and who is on the bench. It's a natural human tendency to be curious and anxious about the future but neither he nor me has to face the heat on the pitch.
