New Zealand’s fast diaper, Matt Henry, is the most recent one in the ranks that India has criticized for playing all matches in the same venue. Matt Henry considers that India had the luxury of knowing the conditions compared to the other teams.
India is scheduled to play all its games in the ongoing Champions Trophy in Dubai after they refused to travel to Pakistan. As a result, India opponent teams have been critical of India that they receive an “undeniable” advantage of playing one place.

Matt Henry adds fuel to the criticism of India’s advantage
After losing to India in the final game of the tournament group, New Zealand Pealer, Matt Henry, spoke of men in Blue’s familiarity with the conditions that allowed them to do -well in the game.
“I think obviously the way of having four front -line spinners was a really effective way to play. I think having this luxury to know (conditions). They played in the conditions beautifully. This was probably the challenge for us,” Henry said at the press conference.
India played four spinners in this game: Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadja, Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy. They decided to rest the fast diaper Harshit Rana for this game, but their Chakravarthy replacement was very impressive with a five -wicket transport.
Before Matt Henry, a no. Old and current cricketers have clearly talked about India’s advantage to play in similar conditions for the tournament. Some of these names are Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain and present -day South -Africa Rassie van der Dussen.
Matt Henry Laudes India spinners
While talking later at the press conference, Matt Henry also praised Indian bowls for their impressive performance. He said some special words for chakravarthy to produce a brilliant performance with his subtle variations.
“We knew they were going to play the four spinners. They launched very well. They read the situation and conditions well. Yes, unfortunately, we couldn’t go through the line.” Henry declared.
“He (Chakravarthy) bowed beautifully, not? I think he showed his skill, the way he turned the ball in both ways, he was able to make a pace. They were able to put us under pressure everywhere,” he observed.
“He extracted the turn and the rhythm and he only, to be in a winning performance of the party like this, in order to create pressure and I suppose this did together,” said the Pealer.
Matt Henry himself was also impressive in this game and returned with 5-42 figures in 8 points. The NZ SEAMER was exceptional with the new ball and also threw himself well.
Will India leave Varun Chakravarthy in the semifinal?
India will play Australia in the semifinal to be played on March 4 in Dubai. With Chakravarthy, which works exceptionally well against New Zealand, India will have a headache.
Chakravarthy produced brilliant 5-42 game winning figures in ten points and also won the game player’s prize. He proved to be his team’s factor X in the last game.
The pitch in Dubai is likely to help spinners and there is a high possibility for India to go with the same playing XI for this game. However, they will face a high-quality Australian battle line that usually does well in the ICC tournaments.
