Cricket World Cup 2019: Grant Elliot's message for the Blackcaps

2015 Cricket World Cup hero Grant Elliot has sent out his message of support to the Blackcaps as they prepare to take on England in the World Cup final.

Elliot played a huge part in the 2015 run the Blackcaps made as they fell one step short of lifting the trophy in Melbourne.

He said the 2015 World Cup was the "most memorable cricket time" of his life.

The Blackcaps face England in the final on Sunday night (NZ time), and Elliot had some advice to the team just hours out.

"Play with intent and enthusiasm and your natural flair," he said.

"Don't regret anything go out there do your best and enjoy it.

"You've got the nation behind you, come on the Blackcaps."
