English Version (Rephrased)
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner has indicated uncertainty regarding Matt Henry’s participation in the T20 World Cup semi-final clash against South Africa, which is scheduled for March 4 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Speaking to reporters during the pre-match press conference, Santner confirmed that the fast bowler had not yet rejoined the squad.
Henry had temporarily returned home for the birth of his child. He is anticipated to link up with the team on the evening of March 3, just hours before New Zealand’s match on March 4 at 7:00 PM local time.
Matt Henry Remains a Doubt for New Zealand’s Semi-Final Clash
During the press conference in Kolkata, Santner stated that Henry was still en route and had not yet entered Indian airspace. The team management intends to make a final decision on his inclusion after assessing his physical condition on the match day itself. Santner acknowledged Henry’s importance to their plans, emphasizing that the ultimate call would be made tomorrow.
«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.
Matt Henry’s Strong Recent Form in T20 World Cup 2026
The 34-year-old fast bowler had been in excellent form for the Blackcaps prior to his temporary departure. In the Super 8 stage match against Sri Lanka on February 25, Henry delivered a devastating spell, claiming 2 wickets for just 3 runs in 2 overs, including a maiden.
In the subsequent fixture against England on February 27, the right-arm quick secured the crucial wicket of Phil Salt, finishing his 2.3-over spell with figures of 1/19.
New Zealand had previously encountered South Africa in this tournament on February 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In that match, the undefeated South African side emerged victorious by 7 wickets with 17 balls to spare.
Marco Jansen’s Dominance Against New Zealand’s Batting Line-up in Previous Match
South African pacer Marco Jansen notably disrupted New Zealand’s top order almost single-handedly, dismissing openers Tim Seifert and Finn Allen cheaply.
He also accounted for number three batter Rachin Ravindra and middle-order batter Glenn Phillips. Batting first, New Zealand managed to post a competitive total of 175 for the loss of 7 wickets.
In the second innings, despite New Zealand’s efforts to defend their total, Matt Henry proved to be expensive, conceding 38 runs in 4 overs without taking any wickets. Jacob Duffy was the costliest bowler for the Blackcaps that night, leaking a substantial 50 runs in his 3-over spell.

Kalkuttadagi matbuot anjumanida Santner Henryning hali yo’lda ekanligini va Hindiston havo hududiga kirmaganini aytdi. Jamoa rahbariyati uning jismoniy holatini o’yin kunida baholagandan so’ng, uni tarkibga kiritish bo’yicha yakuniy qaror qabul qiladi. Santner Henryning rejalarida muhim o’rin tutishini tan oldi, ammo yakuniy qaror ertaga qabul qilinishini ta’kidladi.
Yangi Zelandiya sardori shunday dedi: «Matt hozirda samolyotda; u bugun kechqurun qo’nadi, shuning uchun u qanday holatda bo’lishini ko’ramiz – Yangi Zelandiya bu yerdan ancha uzoqda. Lekin u ertalab biroz yugurib, tayyorligini tekshiradi. Shuning uchun, umid qilamanki, u o’ynashga tayyor bo’ladi.»
Matt Henryning T20 Jahon Kubogi 2026dagi So’nggi Kuchli O’yinlari
34 yoshli tezkor bouler vaqtincha ketishidan oldin Blackcaps uchun ajoyib formada edi. 25-fevral kuni Shri-Lankaga qarshi Super 8 bosqichidagi o’yinda Henry 2 oversda atigi 3 raqam evaziga 2 ta vicket olib, o’zining ajoyib o’yinini namoyish etdi.
Keyingi o’yinda, 27-fevral kuni Angliyaga qarshi bahsda, o’ng qo’lli tezkor bouler Phil Saltning muhim vicketini qo’lga kiritib, 2.3 overdagi o’yinini 1/19 ko’rsatkich bilan yakunladi.
Yangi Zelandiya ushbu turnirda Janubiy Afrikaga qarshi oldinroq, 14-fevral kuni Ahmedabad shahridagi Narendra Modi stadionida o’ynagan edi. O’sha o’yinda mag’lubiyatsiz Janubiy Afrika jamoasi 7 vicket farqi bilan va 17 ta to’p qolgan holda g’alaba qozondi.
Oldingi O’yinda Marco Jansening Yangi Zelandiya Batting Tartibiga Qarshi Ustunligi
Janubiy Afrikalik tezkor bouler Marco Jansen Yangi Zelandiyaning yuqori batting tartibini deyarli yolg’iz o’zi buzib tashladi, ochuvchi Tim Seifert va Finn Allenni arzon narxda o’yindan chetlatdi.
U shuningdek, uchinchi raqamli batter Rachin Ravindra va o’rta tartib batter Glenn Phillipsni ham o’yindan chetlatdi. Birinchi bo’lib batting qilgan Yangi Zelandiya 7 vicket yo’qotib, 175 raqamli raqobatbardosh jami natijani qayd etdi.
Ikkinchi inningsda, Yangi Zelandiyaning o’z jami natijasini himoya qilishga qaratilgan sa’y-harakatlariga qaramay, Matt Henry qimmatga tushdi, 4 oversda 38 raqamni berdi va birorta ham vicket olmadi. Jacob Duffy o’sha kechada Blackcaps uchun eng qimmat bouler bo’lib, 3 overda katta miqdorda 50 raqamni berib yubordi.
