One man who knows what the Black Caps will be feeling ahead of the final in Melbourne on Sunday is Sir Graham Henry, former coach of the world cup winning All Blacks.
Sir Graham told Newstalk ZB he will be at the game with his family on Sunday and he was very impressed with how the Black Caps have performed so far.
"They've done everything superbly, I just think they need to embrace the occasion and enjoy the occasion," he said.
He said the Black Caps' Cricket World Cup so far showed New Zealand's sporting talent.
"This is a great country and this is another example of us batting well above our weight.
"We were seventh in the world at the start of the year and now we're number four," he said.
"They've all contributed and there's been a different hero every game."
Sir Graham said he thought Brendon McCullum has been an "outstanding" captain with "inner confidence".
"He leads from the front, and the guys love him, you can see that."
Sir Graham said the whole family was very excited for the final, regardless of the outcome.
