<text>  David Warner and Aaron Finch will have the chance to impose themselves on New Zealand as Australia bid for a fifth World Cup final victory - and the two openers are hoping they have saved their best for last. Warner and Finchs destructive partnership has only intermittently fired over the past six weeks as Australia have nonetheless booked their place in Sundays MCG final against their fellow tournament co-hosts. Victorian Finch, who will have home comforts on the famously huge playing area, made only his second half-century of the campaign in Australias semi-final win over India in Sydney. David Warner thank the crowd after winning the semi final against India . But it was at the MCG where he smashed hapless England for 135 on Valentines Day, and he returns in good heart after his hard-earned 81 against the defending champions on Thursday. It wasnt my most fluid innings but it was nice to get through that, he said. I was under the pump - I hadnt scored any runs for a while. I felt like I was playing really well. Its just one of those things - it didnt translate into a hell of a lot of runs lately. But I hope Im past that and theres some more runs to come. Warner has had one feast - a career-best 178 against Afghanistan in Perth - and, by his standards, some famine in the World Cup so far. Aaron Finch will hope to make an impact for Australia in the World Cup final . Like Finch, playing in the tournament for the first time, he told Australias Sky Sports Radio: Its just those easy outs that are causing a bit of a stir in my mind. Warner was caught from a leading edge into the ring field against India, and added: Its not great to have big edges on your bat sometimes. But every time Ive come in Ive looked a million dollars, Ive hit every ball in the middle and Ive just got to find a way to get past that first 10 overs, be clinical and bat deep. The Kiwis need to get their minds right too, of course, to upset the odds. They are being portrayed as outsiders but remain the only unbeaten team in the tournament and scored a narrow victory over Australia in an epic, low-scoring group match in Auckland at the end of last month.

Much has been made of Australias home advantage for the rematch, but New Zealand insist they are not fazed. Seamer Matt Henry was not supposed to be involved at all until injury intervened for Adam Milne. Henry was brought into the squad as a replacement and acquitted himself well for economical figures in Tuesdays semi-final win over South Africa. He said: This is definitely something I will never forget. As a kid, you grow up pretending to be these cricket heroes, like playing with my brother out the back and going through scenarios like running in to bowl at a World Cup final. You have to pinch yourself. Ive been presented with an opportunity which Im very grateful for and excited about. Fellow seamer Tim Southee will take the new ball alongside Trent Boult, and is confident - whatever the conditions. Were not too worried about the size of the ground, said Southee. Its a dream come true for all the guys. As a kid growing up, you either want to be an All Black or a Black Cap. This is as good as it gets, taking on Australia in Australia on one of the best cricket grounds in the world. Swing is the forte for Southee and Boult, but attuning to the sell-out atmosphere will be the starting point. Theres going to be a lot of people. Its going to be loud, said Southee. There will be close to 100,000 people screaming. It will be interesting to see what its like here. Brendon McCullums visitors, like Michael Clarkes hosts, appear set to name an unchanged team with veteran left-arm orthodox Daniel Vettori expected to be fit after all.
