WELLINGTON: Exhibiting optimism ahead of the upcoming World Cup, former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming believes that Black Caps and Australia would make the final to contest for the coveted trophy.

Fleming, who participated in four World Cups, said New Zealand and Australia would make the final to be held in Melbourne on March 29, adding that South Africa would be close and West Indies were the dark horse.

Pointing out the like of Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum, and veteran spinner Daniel Vettori as the star players, Fleming further said that the beauty of it was that he could name three or four players to watch out for and that was why he was optimistic about the Cup.

The World Cup starts in Australia and New Zealand on Feb 14.
