Richard Kettleborough:

England's Kettleborough is rated as the world's best umpire for the past two years and was unsurprisingly chosen by the ICC to be in the centre on Sunday at the MCG.

Sri Lanka's Ranjan Madugalle was named the match referee for the high-octane clash between the trans-Tasmanian rivals.

While Australia beat India by 95 runs in their semifinal clash, New Zealand got the better of South Africa in their last-four stage match.

The match official appointments are as follows:

March 29: Australia v New Zealand, Melbourne.
