The Kiwi pacer had to return home for the birth of his child. He is expected to join the team on the night of March 3, and New Zealand’s match is on March 4, at 7.00 PM. Only a few hours before the fixture, Matt Henry will join the team.
“Matt is currently in the air; he’s landing tonight, so I guess we'll see how he pulls up - it's obviously quite far away, New Zealand, from here. But he'll obviously have a little run around in the morning, see if he's ready to go. So yeah, hopefully he's good to go”, the New Zealand captain said in the pre-match press conference.

In the second innings, when New Zealand was putting in all the efforts to protect the total, Matt Henry proved expensive, leaking 38 runs in 4 overs without taking any wickets. Jacob Duffy turned out to be the most expensive bowler of the night for the Blackcaps as he conceded a total of 50 runs in his 3-over spell.
