In the semi-final match against South Africa, McConkie took two wickets in a single over. But he was dropped from the team for the final match. Captain Santner told that he took this decision considering the red colored pitch of Ahmedabad. Actually, fast bowlers get help on red colored pitch, hence the New Zealand team has fielded 4 fast bowlers.
