T20 World Cup: New Zealand pacer Matt Henry said it felt ‘pretty special’ to reach another T20 World Cup final through a comprehensive nine-wicket win over South Africa in the semi-final, especially after going back home for the birth of his son.

At the Eden Gardens, pace spearhead Matt Henry picked 2-34 in New Zealand entering their second T20 World Cup final. Opener Finn Allen smashed the fastest century in tournament history in just 33 balls to propel New Zealand into Sunday’s final in Ahmedabad, where they will face either India or England.

Henry’s effort with the ball was notable given that he took the field less than 24 hours after landing back in India, after having flown home on paternity leave following New Zealand’s last Super Eights match against England on February 27.
