Cricket World Cup final 2015: Australia v New Zealand preview
The 2015 Cricket World Cup final is set to take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between the tournament's two hosts, Australia and New Zealand. The match starts at 3:30am GMT on 29 March, with live coverage on Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports 2 HD.
But which side will emerge victorious? Australia, the four times champions, are on home turf at the MCG. They have also improved throughout the tournament, as evidenced by their fantastic performance to dispatch reigning champions India in the semi-finals.
But the Baggy Greens do not go in to the final unbeaten, suffering a one wicket defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the group stage. The Kiwis have impressed throughout the tournament and managed to hold their nerve to beat South Africa by four wickets with one ball remaining in their semi final game.
Will Australia manage to gain revenge, or can New Zealand go on to win their maiden World Cup crown? Watch our special preview video of the 2015 Cricket World Cup final to see IBTimes UK sports editor Nick Howson give his predictions.
