MELBOURNE (Reuters) - New Zealand are favourites to beat Australia in their highly anticipated World Cup clash at Eden Park on Saturday but won't like the idea, former Australia captain Steve Waugh has said.

New Zealand have won all three of their World Cup matches at a canter while Australia have a solitary win over England to their name, with their second match against Bangladesh washed out.
