New Zealand heads into Day 11 of the Games with 42 medals, picking up another six medals yesterday - including gold in the women's hockey and the men's 91kg boxing.
The team still sits sixth on the medal table, behind Australia, England, India, Canada and South Africa.
They have the chance to eclipse New Zealand's best effort at a Commonwealth Games, in 2014 in Glasgow when athletes won 45 medals.
Team sports dominate the final day, with the men's basketball team kicking things off with an early bronze medal match against Scotland.
The Silver Ferns will be searching for something positive from a woeful Games campaign when they play Jamaica in their bronze medal match. Jamaica won 59-53 when the two teams last met, just before the Commonwealth Games started.
Rounding off a much more successful trip to the Gold Coast, Joelle King and Amanda Landers-Murphy are guaranteed at least a silver medal when they play in the final of the women's squash doubles.
Both the men's and women's sevens teams have booked their berths in the semi-finals and will play off for either gold or bronze later in the day, depending on the outcome.
New Zealand's closing ceremony flag bearer will also be named early in the evening.
Double gold medallist Sophie Pascoe was flag bearer at the opening ceremony, and several gold medallists, including shot putter Tom Walsh and the track cyclists, are already back in New Zealand, narrowing the pool slightly.
Double (and potentially triple) medallist Joelle King and gold medallists David Liti, Julia Ratcliffe, David Nyika, and Jo Edwards are all in the mix.
The closing ceremony begins at 10pm NZT.
