Crowe, acknowledged as New Zealand's finest batsman, made his prediction as he revealed details of his battle with cancer.
He appeared to have beaten a form of lymphoma about two years ago, but said late last year the disease had returned.
Talking to journalists at Eden Park in Auckland, where once he dominated with the bat, Crowe said he wanted to be remembered as "genuine, real, authentic, not false, not masked".
He said he had Australia down as World Cup favourites but felt New Zealand and South Africa were capable of surprising.
"I'm picking a New Zealand v South Africa final. That's my gut feeling with South Africa due as well. We are going to win it one day and we're pretty good at home," Crowe said.
