Henry, the tournament's leading wicket-taker, injured his shoulder while fielding during the semifinal against South Africa in Lahore. Hoping for a recovery, New Zealand waited until the morning of the final to make a decision. However, Henry did not recover in time, leading to Nathan Smith being named as his replacement. Nathan Smith played in the first match of the tournament against the hosts, Pakistan, where he dismissed Salman Agha. The all-rounder ended with 1/20 in his two overs. India, on the other hand, remains unchanged from their semifinal lineup against Australia at the Dubai International Stadium.
