The Netherlands elected to bat first after winning the toss at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Early in the game, the Netherlands bowlers, who had been in charge from the beginning, were able to send back the Pakistani top order. Colin Ackermann sent back captain Babar Azam (5) before the conclusion of the 10th over, joining openers Fakhar Zaman (12) and Imam-ul-Haq (15) in failing to make much progress with the bat.
However, Pakistan's middle order performed admirably and staged a strong comeback. For the squad, Mohammad Rizwan (68) and Saud Shakeel (68) had a partnership that scored more than 100 runs. Mohammad Nawaz (39) and Shadab Khan (32) added a little bit more after taking their wickets to assist Pakistan pass the 250-run threshold. The bottom order, however, was unable to contribute much, and Pakistan was eventually dismissed for 286 runs by the Netherlands.
Bas de Leede of the Netherlands got four wickets in his nine-over stint, and Colin Ackermann claimed two more. Three players each took one wicket: Aryan Dutt, Logan van Beek, and Paul van Meekeren.
See if the hitters from the Netherlands can fend off Pakistan's seam attack and chase down a tough score of 286.
