New Zealand 183 (45.0 ov)
Australia 186/3 (33.1 ov)
Australia won by 7 wickets (with 101 balls remaining)

Michael Clarke has announced the final will be his final ODI, at the age of 33. With an average of 44.42 across 222 innings, Clarke ranks among Australia's very good middle-order batsmen, though a rung below greatness. He has not scored as many as he would like in this tournament, having hit only one fifty and a 47 in his five innings so far. He will hope the big occasion, now tinged with sentiment, will spur him and his team to glory. Victory would see his name go down alongside those of Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, who have won the World Cup before him.

Of all New Zealand's current lot, Daniel Vettori has had the most fascinating career. Once a big-turning spinner, picked virtually out of obscurity in his teenage years, Vettori has been forced to refine his game, as injuries undercut his spin. By the mid 2000s, he was among the best slow bowlers in the world, probing even on New Zealand's unresponsive pitches via mastery of flight and guile. A much improved batsman as well in his later years, at one stage it seemed like Vettori was the only competent cricketer in the side he eventually captained. Now the statesman in a rockstar team, the final may well be his last international. A World Cup seems like only fair reward for a career of lonesome toil.
