Presentation Time...

Earlier in the game, after being forced to bat first, Pakistan struggled initially but posted a good total on the board courtesy of two fine fifties from Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan and some late contributions from Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan. Bas de Leede was the pick of the bowlers for Netherlands with a four-wicket haul while Colin Ackermann got a couple as well with Aryan Dutt, Logan van Beek, and Paul van Meekeren chipped in with one as well. While chasing, it was Bas de Leede again along with Vikramjit Singh who showed some fight, but they needed way more from the other batters to challenge the quality bowling of Pakistan.

Pakistan, on the other hand, would have hoped for a better effort but would be happy that they got the job done in the end. Shaheen Afridi struggled a bit with the new ball but Hasan Ali was excellent and provided the early breakthrough. The decision from Babar Azam to give the ball to Iftikhar Ahmed proved right as he picked up a wicket on his very first delivery. However, after that they let Netherlands build a partnership and come back in the game, but Shadab Khan broke that stand, and Haris Rauf delivered the magic with the old ball and got two wickets in the same over to get them on top again. It should have been three in the same over but Iftikhar dropped a sitter which fortunately didn't affect them that much. Afridi followed it up with one more. Bas de Leede was proving to be a tough nut to break for them, but a peach of a delivery from Mohammad Nawaz got rid of him which took them close to the two points. Hasan Ali and Haris Rauf closed the game for them by picking up the remaining wickets.

Netherlands didn't get off to the start that they were looking for as they lost Max O'Dowd quite early. Vikramjit Singh and Colin Ackermann steadied the ship for a bit but the latter couldn't stick around for long. However, after Bas de Leede came in, he looked in great touch and along with Singh stitched up a really good partnership of 70 runs, and in the process, both registered their half-centuries as well. This put Netherlands back in the game, but Singh got out right after his half-century which started a mini collapse for them as they went from 120 for 3 to 158 for 6. Their only hope, de Leede tried to fight a lone battle at the other end but without much support, he too perished soon after. The tail hung around for a bit with Logan van Beek hitting a few lusty blows in the end, but ultimately they fell short by 81 runs.

Pakistan start their World Cup campaign with an excellent win! However, it was not at all an easy one as Netherlands really gave a good account of themselves with both bat and ball, but in the end the quality that the Men in Green possessed proved to be a bit too much for them.

Shaheen Afridi To Saqib Zulfiqar OUT!

OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Shaheen Afridi gets into the act now! The Netherlands' chase is falling apart here. Continues to zone in from 'round the wicket and hurls it full, at the stumps, Saqib Zulfiqar moves to the off side and takes the risk of flicking it across the line. He fails to get any bat to ball and gets trapped right in front of the stumps. The umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Saqib Zulfiqar has a word with Bas de Leede and decides not to waste a review.

Drinks! Pakistan have made a solid comeback in this game with Haris Rauf leading the charge. Things could have been even better for them if Iftikhar Ahmed managed to hold on to that catch, but they will look to continue this, and a wicket here or there should ensure the two points for them. Netherlands will be hoping that Bas de Leede can take this game deep as most of the responsibility will be on him but he will also need some support from the other end. An exciting last phase of this chase awaits us.
