From celebrating the birth of his son back home to delivering a crucial final over in the T20 World Cup semi-final, NZ pacer Matt Henry capped a whirlwind week of emotions as the Black Caps stormed into the final with a nine-wicket demolition of South Africa.

Henry, who had returned home after the match against England on February 27 for the birth of his child, rejoined the squad in Kolkata hours before the semi-final on Wednesday. Despite the exhausting travel, the pacer returned figures of 2-34, both wickets coming in the final over, restricting the Proteas to 169-8. The Kiwis chased down the total with ease.
