He looked in discomfort and walked off the field.

Although New Zealand team management strapped his hamstring region, enabling him to continue bowling, it didn't work out.

The Blackcaps X (formerly Twitter) handle soon issued an update on Henry's situation, stating that he felt a "tightness in his right hamstring" and "following further assessment he will not return to the field at this stage."

However, it remains unclear whether he would return to bat later in the day if required.

Henry, for now, has become the fourth injured player in the Kiwi team, alongside Lockie Ferguson (Achilles), Mark Chapman (calf) and Kane Williamson (thumb).

He has been New Zealand's second most successful bowler in the showpiece so far after Mitchell Santner.

So far, Henry has scalped 11 wickets from seven matches at an average of 28.63 and an economy rate of 5.79, with best figures of three for 40 against the Netherlands. 바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트 바카라 웹사이트
