Top 3 match-winning bowling spells in World Cup 2019

1. Matt Henry vs India - 3 for 28

New Zealand v England - ICC Cricket World Cup Final 2019

The man who almost single-handedly crushed the dreams of the Indians on the day of semi-finals was Matt Henry. After the first innings of New Zealand in the semi-final, everyone thought that it would be an effortless chase by India. But Kiwis always were a team full of determination and fight.

In cold-windy conditions, it was always going to be a tough ask for the batsman to face the likes Matt Henry and Trent Boult in their initial spells, where the ball could move both ways. And New Zealand's fast bowlers stepped up for them when they needed them the most.

Henry displayed one of the best performances in a New Zealand jersey, where he exposed the middle-order of the Indian team with his skills of swinging the ball and pitching the ball in the right area constantly. Henry first took the wicket of the match at that point in Rohit Sharma, when he bowled an out-swinger and the ball knicked past Sharma's edge towards the wicket-keeper. In the next over, Boult trapped Virat Kohli in front of the stumps taking the second big fish for them.

And just when Matt Henry came to bowl his next over, he took on K.L. Rahul and dismissed him for 1 run and suddenly India were 5-3. Henry was bowling beautifully, pitching the ball in the correct areas regularly. And the same strategy became the reason for Rahul's dismissal. But then came his third scalp and one of the best catches of the competition by Jimmy Neesham. Again Henry bowled his good length delivery, which Karthik wanted to drive but then checked his shot at the last moment, creating a half-chance for Neesham to grab a stunner. Henry and his team dismantled the opposition and Henry was adjusted the Man of The Match.
