Champions Trophy: NZ pacer Matt Henry doubtful for final against India

New Zealand pacer Matt Henry has been rendered doubtful for the Champions Trophy final against India owing to a shoulder niggle but coach Gary Stead is hopeful that the in-form bowler will recover in time for the clash on Sunday. Henry leads the tournament's top wicket-takers' list with 10 scalps, including a 5/42 against India in their group match. The 33-year-old injured himself when he landed on his shoulder during the semifinal against South Africa in Lahore on Wednesday. "Matt obviously landed on his shoulder and it was pretty uncomfortable. I guess the positive thing from our perspective is that he got back out there to bowl. We've had some scans done on him," Stead told reporters here on Friday. The coach was hopeful that Henry would be ready in time for the final. "We're going to give him every chance to be playing in this match, so still a little bit unknown at this stage. "He's obviously pretty sore just from landing on the point of his shoulder, but yeah, hopefully he

IND vs NZ Final: Will need to adapt on unknown Dubai pitch, says Ravindra

Dashing New Zealand opener Rachin Ravindra feels adapting to the conditions will be key to succeed on an "unknown" Dubai surface in the Champions Trophy final against India on Sunday. Except the group match against India in Dubai, New Zealand have played all their games in Pakistan. The Kiwis had also played two games in Lahore during the preceding tri-series involving Pakistan and South Africa. India, on the other, have played all their matches in Dubai and are familiar with the conditions. "We don't quite know what the Dubai pitch is. We saw in our (group) game against India the ball turning but the other day didn't turn so much. We found ourselves adapting and playing according to situations, which we will need to do on Sunday again. "We will see in the next couple of days and hopefully it's a good cricket wicket," said Ravindra after an emphatic 50-run win over South Africa in the semifinal here on Wednesday. Ravindra scored only six against India in the group, falling to Hard

India have real clarity on how they want to operate in Dubai: Williamson

New Zealand batting mainstay Kane Williamson reckons India have "real clarity" on how they want to operate in Dubai, having played all their Champions Trophy games at the same venue. Williamson did not specifically said that India had an advantage of playing at one venue and compared it to New Zealand's familiarity with the conditions in Lahore, where they beat South Africa on Wednesday to set up a final clash against the Rohit Sharma-led side in Dubai on Sunday. New Zealand had played two games in Lahore during the preceding tri-series involving Pakistan and South Africa. "I suppose having played there on a number of occasions; there's real clarity in how they want to operate. "A little bit like our opportunity here, having played a number of times at this venue as well and I think that's part and parcel in cricket," said Williamson when asked if India go into the final with an advantage of knowing the conditions. Having scored a hundred in the semifinal, Williamson is high on ..

IND-NZ final: We've challenged India before, eager to do it again - Santner

New Zealand may have lost to India in the group stage of the Champions Trophy in Dubai, but their captain Mitchell Santner believes that putting Rohit Sharma's side under pressure in that encounter gave his team the confidence for their upcoming summit clash on Sunday. New Zealand beat South Africa by 50 runs in the second semifinal here on Wednesday to set up a final clash with India in Dubai on Sunday. India had beaten Australia by four wickets in the first semifinal on Tuesday. Asked about their group stage loss to India in Dubai, Santner said, "Being there in Dubai and putting India under pressure gave us confidence. You take in what things work and what doesn't. "I think the bowlers bowled well to chip wickets at the top. I think winning the toss will be nice as well," Santner said at the post-match press conference. India had beaten New Zealand by 44 runs in their last group match on March 2 in Dubai. "It's a cool feeling to make the final. We were challenged by a good side.
