Well, it’s also unfortunate to see a bowler who was in lethal form and did incredibly well in the group stages, but due to injury, he is now out and will not be available for the final game. That’s exactly what happened to Matt Henry, who did a wonderful job in the Champions Trophy group stage match and even became the first bowler in history to take a five-wicket haul against India in the Champions Trophy. Although New Zealand lost the game, his performance gained prominence. However, the 33-year-old right-arm pacer suffered an injury while playing in the semifinal against South Africa on Wednesday (March 5), and now he will not be playing against India in the Champions Trophy final.
Henry, who injured his shoulder while attempting a catch during the semifinal against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium, is also the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 10 wickets at an average of 16.70. But now, he will not be in the Black Caps’ mix for the Champions Trophy 2025.
