Welcome to Dawn.com's live coverage of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 final between Australia and New Zealand.

Some 90,000 fans at the vast stadium and millions of television viewers around the world will follow the blockbuster title clash between the two best teams left standing in the 14-nation, six-week event.

Brendon McCullum's Black Caps have won eight matches in a row, including a one-wicket victory over Australia in a low scoring pool stage thriller in Auckland a month ago.

Then at the same Eden Park last Tuesday, New Zealand downed mighty South Africa in a nerve-tingling semi-final with a penultimate-ball six by Grant Elliott.

New Zealand's first semi-final win in seven attempts has left an enthralled rugby-mad nation backing their cricketers to take home the sport's biggest prize.

Australia have won the World Cup a record four times, including three in a row between 1999 and 2007, but have never won on home soil.

Michael Clarke will captain Australia into the final, his second in a World Cup. He was part of the winning team in the Caribbean in 2007.
