India's familiarity with conditions gave spinners the edge over us: Henry

New Zealand pacer Matt Henry said India's familiarity with the conditions here helped them pick a suitable bowling unit as their spin quartet, particularly Varun Chakravarthy, kept his side under constant pressure during the Champions Trophy match here. India, who are playing all their matches in Dubai, fielded Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel against the Kiwis here on Sunday during their 44-run victory in the final Group A match. "I think, obviously, the way to have four frontline spinners was a really effective way to play. I think having that luxury of knowing (conditions)they played to the conditions beautifully. That was probably the challenge for us," Henry said in the post-match press conference. "We knew that they were going to play the four spinners. They bowled beautifully. They read the situation and the conditions well. Yeah, unfortunately, we couldn't get across the line." Chakravarthy was the most impressive among the four spinners, taking a

The positive result for New Zealand ensured their semifinals berth in the tournament along with India, while knocking out hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh from the mega event. Rachin Ravindra (112) and Michael Bracewell (4/26) were the two stars for New Zealand on the night. "Feels nice to qualify. Knew Bangladesh would be a challenge," Santner said in the post-match presentation ceremony. "The way we pulled things back with the ball was amazing. Hard to take middle-overs wickets in ODIs and Bracewell was amazing. He's a quality bowler now, the way he can change his pace on these wickets is outstanding. Bowls a lot to right-handers too," the captain added. He was also effusive in his praise for Ravindra who anchored the chase of 237 after
