Australia vs New Zealand Live Stream: Watch Online World Cup 2015 Cricket Final
Australia and New Zealand will contest the ICC 2015 World Cup Final on Sunday in a mouth-watering game between the two best sides of the tournament. Australia will be favorites to claim the title at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, but New Zealand have already managed to overturn the Aussies in the group stages of the tournament and so know they have what it takes to defeat their neighbors and most fierce rivals. The game is scheduled to start at 11.30 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream (details below).
Although New Zealand have arguably been the most impressive team in the tournament until now, Australia are by far the more experienced on the big stage. The four-time World Cup winners will be making their seventh appearance in the final, where as this will be New Zealand's first taste of the competition climax.
New Zealand are undefeated in the World Cup this year, winning all eight of their games. Australia meanwhile have won six of their games, lost one (to New Zealand), and had one no result.

There is almost nothing between these teams though, with Australia scoring 1,963 runs and taking 69 wickets compared to New Zealand's 1,923 runs and 72 wickets.
Brendon McCullum will no doubt stick to his usual aggressive tactics that have worked wonders throughout the tournament until now. Personally he is scoring at almost two runs per ball, and as captain he has put full faith in his in-form bowlers by often setting four slip fielders to keep opposition batsmen under maximum pressure.
Ahead of the final he has said, "We need to play like that, that's how we're going to beat teams on regular occasions. We're not afraid of losing. For us we think about what we can achieve. There are going to be times when we come out on the wrong side of it but that gives us our greatest chance of success against big teams."
