Champions Trophy: India Played To The Conditions Beautifully, Says NZ Seamer Henry
Dubai International Stadium: After suffering a 44-run defeat to India in the 2025 Champions Trophy, New Zealand seamer Matt Henry said the Rohit Sharma-led side played beautifully as per the conditions due to the knowledge they acquired from their previous Group A games at the Dubai International Stadium.
On a slow pitch, India managed to make 249/9 in 50 overs, with Shreyas Iyer’s 79 and a late 45 by Hardik Pandya taking them to the competitive total. In return, Varun Chakaravarthy picked 5-42 in just his second ODI game to bowl out New Zealand for 205 in 45.3 overs. New Zealand will take on Group B toppers South Africa in the second semi-final in Lahore on Wednesday.
“The way to have four front line spinners was a really effective way to play. (India) having that luxury of knowing … they played to the conditions beautifully. We knew that coming here, they were going to play the four frontline spinners … and they bowled beautiful. They read the situation and read the conditions well,” Henry was quoted as saying by ICC.
