It's co-host vs co-host as Australia meets New Zealand in Sunday's final of the ICC Cricket World Cup in Melbourne. New Zealand will be looking to win their first ever World Cup and on the other hand Australia will be hoping to make it five.New Zealand have reached their first ICC Cricket World Cup final - they are the seventh different team to make a final appearance.The teams are equally hungry.They are blessed with explosive batsmen and others who can ensure that the power hitters come in at the appropriate times,they have quality fast bowlers and are terrific fielding sides.
The MCG deck is the sort which demands great discipline from the batsmen and greater discipline from the bowlers. Australia, who have constantly summoned World Cup winning legends like Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist to chat with the team, can be expected to use their knowledge of MCG to keep their nose ahead of the Black Caps.Australia's home ODI record is also phenomenal. They have won 24 of their last 26 completed matches at home, and this is what the team and its supporters will bank on. New Zealand are the little brother thrashing opponents in quaint, modestly-sized venues.
The Melbourne pitch has tended to be bouncy, but batsman-friendly through the tournament, and Sunday's surface is not expected to be any different. With a straw-coloured surface prepared, there is unlikely to be much in the way of swing and seam. There is a reserve day for the match if rain persists.Pace bowlers like Boult and Starc have the tendency to swing in the Sunday's match as the pitch reflects the pace and swing condition.
From the weather forecast there is no rain on Sunday in the Melbourne.The temperature will be around 25° and Precipitation will be around 1%.
