It also provides another opportunity to wash away the drama of the tied Super Over final of Lord's two years ago.
Some of the 2019 squad, including veterans Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Trent Boult and Tim Southee, had a taste of redemption in June when New Zealand lifted the World Test Championship following a stunning day's cricket to record an unthinkable victory over India.
But two players who stood in the middle for the New Zealand innings in that Super Over – Martin Guptill and Jimmy Neesham – haven't had that chance for reclamation and it would be fitting if they were to lead the Black Caps to glory tomorrow.
It's not just what they've won in this golden era under Mike Hesson and now coach Gary Stead, but how they've done it.
Earlier this week, former Australian umpire Bruce Oxenford revealed how the Black Caps had found the secret sauce to becoming a World Cup powerhouse - by taking negative energy out of the game.
Oxenford umpired New Zealand many times and said their relaxed mindset, including being gracious and supportive to umpires if they make a mistake, impressed him to such a degree he tried to adopt a similar approach.
A perfect example of their sportsmanship approach first led by Brendon McCullum and taken over by Williamson was in the semifinal victory on Thursday.
Standing at the non-striker's end, Black Caps batsman Daryl Mitchell turned down an easy run after colliding with England bowler Adil Rashid. With 34 runs needed off the final three overs, every run was vital but Mitchell played the "fairplay" card. Neesham, who was left on strike because of Mitchell's call, then smashed the next ball for six. It seemed karma was on the Black Caps' side.
Once again they are out to prove the good guys can finish first.
