Champions Trophy: Henry Picks Five As NZ Restrict India To 249/9 Despite Iyer’s 79
Seamer Matt Henry: Seamer Matt Henry stood tall yet again to pick 5-42, third five-for in the 50-over format, as New Zealand restricted India to 249/9 in their 50 overs in the final Group A game of the 2025 Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
Electing to bowl first, New Zealand used the help offered by the black soil pitch to good effect and kept India in check. Shreyas Iyer rescued India from a top-order collapse by making a fine 79 and got the company of Axar Patel, who made a solid 42. With New Zealand bowling superbly in the back end, Hardik Pandya’s run-a-ball 45 ensured India posted a competitive total.
With some help on offer for the fast bowlers, Henry and Kyle Jamieson made good use of it by asking tough questions to the Indian batters via seam and swing respectively. Though Rohit Sharma clobbered Henry for four and six respectively, the seamer bounced back by trapping Shubman Gill plumb lbw with a lovely inswinger for just two.
