In the final at Lord's, West Indies won the toss and elected to field. On a slow Lord's pitch,<ref name="REPORT">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/233414.html|title=New Zealand v West Indies - 2004 NatWest Series Final|date=10 July 2004|accessdate=29 January 2012}}</ref> New Zealand started their innings with a 120 run opening partnership between captain [[Stephen Fleming]] and [[Nathan Astle]], before the former was dismissed by [[Dwayne Bravo]] for 67. Astle fell for 57 with the score on 143, with Bravo once again taking the dismissal. [[Scott Styris]] fell for a single run soon after, before [[Hamish Marshall]] and [[Craig McMillan]] came together to add 71 for the fourth wicket. Marshall eventually fell with the score on 217, dismissed by [[Chris Gayle]], with McMillan being dismissed soon after by [[Tino Best]], having made 52. A flurry of late wickets by Best and [[Ramnaresh Sarwan]] contained New Zealand's progress toward the end of the innings, with New Zealand all out after 49.2 [[over (cricket)|overs]] for 266. Sarwan finished with the best innings bowling figures of 3/31, while Bravo and Best each chipped in with two wickets and Gayle and [[Devon Smith]] with one each.<ref name="REPORT"/> The West Indies response started poorly, with Gayle dismissed for 4 runs with the score on 5 by [[Jacob Oram]]. Devon Smith and Sarwan settled the batting with a sedate partnership of 40 for the second wicket, before Sarwan was [[run out]]. [[Brian Lara]] and Smith then took the score to 98, before the latter was run out by [[Daniel Vettori]]. Lara fell to the bowling of Vettori shortly after with the score on 105, with Bravo following one run later. [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]] and [[Ricardo Powell]] took the score to 149, before Powell became the seventh wicket to fall. Devon Smith and [[Ridley Jacobs]] both fell with the score on 150, nine runs later [[Ian Bradshaw]] fell.<ref name="CricketArchive"/> Rain arrived and forced a ninety-minute delay, during which half of the Lord's crowd left. With the match seemingly headed for a reserve day, the rain stopped and play resumed with the West Indies on 159/9. No further runs were added as just after 8pm Vettori took the wicket of Chanderpaul, his [[five wicket haul|fifth of the match]], to hand New Zealand a 107 run victory. This was New Zealand's largest winning margin over the West Indies in One Day International's.<ref name="REPORT"/> Daniel Vettori was declared Man of the Match, while Stephen Fleming was declared Player of the Series.<ref name="REPORT"/>
