Champions Trophy: Kane Williamson To Not Field In India's Chase After Picking Quad Strain
Dubai International Stadium: New Zealand’s premier batter Kane Williamson will not be fielding in India's chase of 252 in the ongoing ICC 2025 Champions Trophy final after suffering a quad strain while batting in the first innings at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
Williamson, who hit 102 in the semi-final against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, was dismissed for 11 off 14 balls and hit only one boundary in the title clash against India. The right-handed batter couldn’t keep a chip down off Kuldeep Yadav and gave a tame return catch to the left-arm wrist-spinner in the 13th over.
"Kane Williamson will not field in the second innings of the final after picking up a quad strain while batting. Mark Chapman has taken his place in the field," said an update from New Zealand Cricket (NZC) shortly after the second innings began at the Dubai International Stadium.
