With twelve hours to go until the start of the Cricket World Cup final, New Zealand fans are waiting with anticipation to see how we will fare.

It's only the second time the Black Caps have made the finals, and fans are hopeful that they will pull off a winning performance over England at the Lord's tonight.

Josh Wright, Chairman of the London New Zealand Cricket Club, told Andrew Dickens they are pretty optimistic about the game.

"We've got the hosts of the World Cup playing against New Zealand, who obviously we want to win."

He thinks that England are over-confident, and New Zealand has an opportunity to get in underneath all that. 

Former Black Cap spinner Jeetan Patel, who plays Country Cricket for Warwickshire, told Andrew Dickens that it will be incredible for the Black Caps to win in England. 

"It's going to take a special thing and a special moment, but hopeful we can be on the right side of that moment."
