Quarter final venues and schedule

[GIMH]

Pretty sure we discussed this somewhere but can't remember.

Cricinfo lists the QFs as follows:

• Wed Mar 18 (50 ovs) 03:30 GMT | 14:30 local 03:30 GMT
  1st Quarter-Final - TBC v TBC (A1 v B4) Sydney Cricket Ground LIVE D/N
  
  N/A
  
• Thu Mar 19 (50 ovs) 03:30 GMT | 14:30 local 03:30 GMT
  2nd Quarter-Final - TBC v TBC (A2 v B3) Melbourne Cricket Ground LIVE D/N
  N/A
  
• Fri Mar 20 (50 ovs) 03:30 GMT | 14:00 local 03:30 GMT
  3rd Quarter-Final - TBC v TBC (A3 v B2) Adelaide Oval LIVE D/N
  N/A
  
• Sat Mar 21 (50 ovs) 01:00 GMT | 14:00 local 01:00 GMT
  4th Quarter-Final - TBC v TBC (A4 v B1) Westpac Stadium, Wellington LIVE D/N
  N/A
  
  But I could have sworn that I read somewhere that if Oz get through, regardless of position in group, they'll play at the SCG. Similarly, NZ will play at Wellington should they progress. So if this is true, then presumably for A4 V B1, for example, the venue and date won't be known until the final group standings. Is this correct?
  
  Basically, as England are guaranteed to finish A1, I want to know whether it's worth planning a WFH day for the 18th now or not

They've aligned quarter finals based on the teams in pool a. but can't remember the allocations

Aus is guaranteed at Adelaide, not SCG IIRC.
