Bengaluru: Injuries are causing complications for New Zealand's cricket team before their upcoming World Cup match against Pakistan.
Several players, including Matt Henry, are currently grappling with injuries, which have raised concerns for the team's prospects in the tournament.
Matt Henry recently sustained a hamstring injury during a match against South Africa.
This injury limited his participation, allowing him to bowl only three overs against South Africa, taking five wickets.
Furthermore, Jimmy Neesham, who was supposed to complete Matt Henry's over, also sustained an injury when the ball struck his wrist.
He has pushed down the batting order to number eight.
Adding to the injury list, Kiwi players Lockie Ferguson, Mark Chapman, and Kane Williamson were already dealing with injuries.
The upcoming match between Pakistan and New Zealand is scheduled to take place in Bengaluru.
The Kiwi team management remains hopeful that these injured players will recover in time to compete in this crucial match.
