T20 WC: NZ Still Believe In Their Batting Firepower To Put India Under Pressure, Says Henry
T20 World Cup: Veteran seamer Matt Henry said New Zealand still have belief in their batting strength despite India posting an imposing 255/5 in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup final. On a flat mixed soil pitch, Sanju Samson (89), Ishan Kishan (54), and Abhishek Sharma (52) carried India to a massive 255/5, the highest score in a T20 World Cup final.
“Obviously, that’s tough. Obviously, we would have liked to have kept them to probably under 240 there, but we’ve still got the firepower and the belief in this shed. So I think for us, the way we start, hopefully we can get a good read of the wicket and put them under some pressure,” said Henry in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.
New Zealand's plan of using slower balls proved to be too costly as India's top three batters picked them with ease and regularly dispatched them with authority over the boundary ropes. Henry explained that the bowling plan had been to take pace off early against India’s big-hitting batters.
