Champions Trophy: Smith Replaces Henry As NZ Opt To Bat Against Unchanged India
Dubai International Stadium: New Zealand will play the 2025 Champions Trophy final without their pace bowling spearhead Matt Henry as they won the toss and elected to bat first against India at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
The all-important title clash will be played on the pitch used for the India-Pakistan clash on February 23.
Henry is the leading wicket-taker of the ongoing tournament with 10 scalps, including taking 5-42 against India in the Group A game in Dubai. But he injured his right shoulder while taking Heinrich Klaasen’s catch in New Zealand’s 50-run semi-final win over South Africa in Lahore.
