New Zealand pacer Matt Henry mentioned India’s familiarity with the circumstances right here helped them choose an appropriate bowling unit as their spin quartet, notably Varun Chakravarthy, saved his aspect below fixed stress throughout the Champions Trophy match in Dubai.
India, who’re taking part in all their matches in Dubai, fielded Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel towards the Kiwis right here on Sunday throughout their 44-run victory within the closing Group A match.
“I believe, clearly, the best way to have 4 frontline spinners was a extremely efficient technique to play. I believe having that luxurious of realizing (circumstances)…they performed to the circumstances fantastically. That was in all probability the problem for us,” Henry mentioned within the post-match press convention.
“We knew that they have been going to play the 4 spinners. They bowled fantastically. They learn the scenario and the circumstances properly. Yeah, sadly, we couldn’t get throughout the road.”
Chakravarthy was probably the most spectacular among the many 4 spinners, taking a five-wicket haul (5/42) as India arrange a semifinal conflict with Australia.
“He (Chakravarthy) bowled fantastically, didn’t he? I believe he confirmed his talent, the best way he turned the ball each methods, he might bowl tempo. They have been capable of put us below stress proper all through,” Henry mentioned.
“He extracted flip and tempo and he simply, to be on a match profitable efficiency like that, to have the ability to create stress and I suppose that’s what they did in tandem.”
Nevertheless, Henry was delighted to see New Zealand pacers placing India below stress early, and he needs to copy that towards South Africa within the semifinals.
India have been reeling at 30 for 3 at one stage earlier than Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel mounted a rescue act.

“I believe if we are able to maintain doing that, we are able to take wickets. For those who can take wickets all through, particularly all through that center, it makes a large distinction on the again finish.
