More action to come - Up next in Bristol is a high-stakes clash between West Indies and Ireland, with the first ball scheduled for 1.30 pm GMT. A Windies win will seal their place in the semifinals and shut the door on both Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Those two sides, therefore, will be hoping Ireland can pull off an upset. Our build-up is already up and running, so switch tabs and join us there. Cheers!
The skipper of Pakistan Women - Fatima Sana says she is really proud of her team and credits each and every player for the way they turned up for this game. She singles out Ayesha Zafar for praise, calling her a senior player who knows how to take responsibility and saying she did that really well today. She also has kind words for Gull Feroza, saying she batted brilliantly. On her own contribution with the ball, she says as an all-rounder, she tries to give her best and hopes it goes in the team's favour. About their struggles while batting, she is honest, saying there is plenty to work on and there will be a lot of discussions once they get back home. She is confident they will put in the work and come back as a stronger unit.
The captain of Netherlands Women - Babette de Leede says the bowlers were excellent and did a really good job of restricting Pakistan to 126. She admits it was frustrating with the bat. Mentions that playing against some of the best teams in the world is crucial for the side's development and provides invaluable experience. Babette describes their maiden Women's T20 World Cup campaign as an incredible experience, says they will take plenty away from it, and believes this is only the beginning for them. She points out that only a couple of players in the squad are professional cricketers and, considering that, says she is immensely proud of what the team has achieved.
Time for a chat with the captains...
Set up, but not cashed in - Earlier, after being asked to bat first, Pakistan got the better of the middle phase of the innings, but the finish left much to be desired. The 79-run stand between Gull Feroza and Ayesha Zafar laid a decent platform to kick on, but once the Dutch broke that partnership, they burst through with regular wickets and shut the door on any late flourish.
No way out - In pursuit of 127, the Netherlands began with promise as Heather Siegers got them off the blocks quickly before Pakistan hit back by removing both openers. From there, Pakistan's spinners took complete control of the middle overs and never allowed the chase to gather momentum. Babette de Leede fought a lone battle, but even she could not break free as Pakistan's spinners kept a firm stranglehold on the innings and put the game beyond the Dutch.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Gull Feroza takes home the award for her unbeaten knock of 63 runs from 52 balls. Feroza is all smiles, and she says it was an important knock not only for her but also for her team. When asked about the pitch, she says the pitch was a little tricky, and the plan was to stay in and rotate the strike. When wickets fell, she says they had to adjust their approach on the go, but they made the most of the bad balls they received. On the mindset coming into the game, she says the goal was simple - to win and finish the tournament on a good note, and she feels this victory means a great deal to the group. She signs off with a warm message to the fans, thanking them for coming out and backing Pakistan throughout the tournament.
Pakistan sign off with a win - Made to work hard with the bat, Pakistan left a few runs out there, but their bowling unit more than made up for it with a clinical performance. The disappointment is evident on the faces of Babette de Leede and her teammates as they walk out to shake hands. It was a commendable effort from the Dutch with the ball to restrict Pakistan to 126, but they just could not find a way out of Pakistan's spin choke. Still, there is plenty for them to be proud of from their maiden Women's T20 World Cup campaign, and they walk over to acknowledge the travelling Orange Army for their unwavering support.

Fatima Sana To Caroline de Lange OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! You miss, I hit says the Pakistani captain. Sana gets the job done for her side with a triple-wicket maiden. She gets her third wicket as she has torn apart the Dutch lower order. Pakistan Women win by 37 runs and end their tournament with a comprehensive win. Good length on off and middle from Fatima. Caroline de Lange stays leg side of the ball, looking to flat bat it down the ground. She gives it a big swing but gets nowhere near it, and the stumps are splayed behind her.

Fatima Sana To Silver Siegers OUT!
OUT! KNOCKED HER OVER! Two in two for Fatima and she is guiding Pakistan to a victory now. She simply keeps the line of attack on the stumps and lands it quite fuller. Silver Siegers backs away to make room, swings wildly at it, only to miss. The ball beats the bat and crashes into the stumps behind. Netherlands Women are on the brink as they are 89/9, needing 38 runs from 15 balls.
Silver Siegers is in next.

Fatima Sana To Babette de Leede OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Sana dismisses her opposite number through a sizzling delivery. Lasers in a yorker on off at 103.6 kph. De Leede stays deep in the crease and looks to dig it out but the bat simply does not come down in time. The ball sneaks through and crashes into the base of the off stump. Fatima lets out a big roar and punches the air in delight. That should be the game for Pakistan as the Dutch skipper departs after a painstakingly scratchy knock.

Ayesha Zafar To Babette de Leede OUT!
OUT! ZWILLING IS RUN OUT! Fortunes favouring Pakistan as a complete mix-up cost the Dutch another wicket. Low full toss from Zafar and this is driven hard and straight by de Leede, but Zwilling is right in the firing line at the non-striker's end and takes a blow on the left thigh. The ball ricochets to the left of the bowler. De Leede wants the run immediately. Zwilling is still wincing and barely moves but sacrifices her wicket to protect the skipper. Zafar is onto it in a flash, feeds Muneeba at the stumps, and that is all she needs to whip the bails off.

Ayesha Zafar To Frederique Overdijk OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! So after a couple of errors in the field, Jabeen takes a stunner. Short and wide outside off from Zafar. Overdijk rocks back and cuts it away, but cannot keep it along the ground and hits it uppishly in front of square. Saira from cover-point moves swiftly to her left and flings herself into a dive to complete a very good catch on the edge of the ring.

Babette de Leede sits down to slog it over the fence, but gets it mistimed toward deep mid-wicket. Sundhu runs in off the ropes, but cannot put the brakes on in time and the ball pops in and out of her hands. Two runs taken.

Sadia Iqbal To Babette de Leede
A direct hit would have been curtains for de Leede! Full and on off. Babette de Leede gets across to whip it to the leg side, but closes the bat face early and a top edge is found. It gets popped up and drops in front of backward point. The batters are a bit late to get through for a single and seeing Babette struggling to get to the bowling end, the fielder picks up and throws it to that end, but misses her shy.
A double-wicket maiden from Zafar, just when her team needed it most. Netherlands Women need 51 runs in 30 balls and the required run rate has shot up over 10 runs per over.

Ayesha Zafar To Sanya Khurana OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! Sanya Khurana is gone this time. Flatter and shorter, outside off. A premeditated charge by Khurana to force it down the ground. The ball keeps going straight to go past the outside edge. Khurana is well out of her crease and stands no chance of a return. Muneeba Ali does the rest by breaking the stumps. Ali has a glance at the square leg umpire before breaking into a smile.

Ayesha Zafar To Sanya Khurana
Sanya Khurana is safe. Zafar offers flight, on a length, around off. Khurana reaches out in front to push it down the ground. The ball goes past the outside edge, and her back leg gets dragged out of the crease. Muneeba Ali whips the bails off in a flash and is pretty confident in her appeal. The third umpire is summoned for a check. The replays confirm that Khurana managed to get some part of her back leg inside the crease before the stumps were broken. Muneeba is not happy with the decision and is having an argument with the square leg umpire.
Is Sanya stumped out? Muneeba thinks so and Pakistan are already celebrating. But the decision is sent upstairs for a review. After checking three angles, the third umpire deems that Khurana's back leg gets in the crease just in the nick of time, before Ali dislodges the bails. NOT OUT!

Ayesha Zafar To Sanya Khurana
Drags it back, on off. Khurana punches it to cover.
Babette de Leede is stranded at the other end, seeing wickets fall from the other. Sanya Khurana is in at number 6. She played a good hand against the Proteas, scoring 36. So she can bat well but can she handle the pressure here?

Ayesha Zafar To Robine Rijke OUT!
OUT! LBW! That's pretty straight, and the finger is raised. Robine Rijke does not bother to take the review. Loopy ball, on middle. Rijke tries to work it across the line, but the ball dips on her and sneaks under the bat before hitting the back pad right in front of the stumps. Pakistan strike right after the break. The Netherlands Women are 76/4, needing 51 runs from 35 balls.
DRINKS BREAK! The game is nicely poised at the moment with Netherlands Women needing 51 runs from 36 balls. It's not difficult at all, but a lot depends on Babette de Leede as she is the set batter in the middle. However, she didn't have a fluent start, but will feel a lot more confident after hitting a couple of boundaries in the 13th over. Pakistan know that dismissing the Dutch captain will bring them on top as their middle order has been quite vulnerable throughout the tournament. Pakistan have done well to stem the flow of runs in this middle overs and will look to keep picking wickets. Ayesha Zafar (1-0-8-0) will continue after the break.

If the Netherlands are to chase this down from here, plenty will rest on the experienced pair of Babette de Leede and Sterre Kalis. If not both, at least one of them will need to bat deep to take the Dutch home. Nashra Sundhu to bowl after the break.

Sadia Iqbal To Babette de Leede OUT!
OUT! PHEBE MOLKENBOER IS RUN OUT! Eyman Fatima produces the direct hit and both Dutch openers are back in the hut now. Full and fired in at the pads. Babette de Leede plays the sweep and it goes straight to short fine leg, but still, both batters decide to take a quick single. Fatima gets low, picks the ball up cleanly and fires in a throw at the batting end to catch Phebe short of her crease, who opted against the dive. A dive might have saved Molkenboer. Netherlands Women are now 35/2, needing 92 from 91 balls.

Diana Baig To Heather Siegers OUT!
OUT! LBW! Pakistan get the review right. The length is pulled back by Baig, on middle and leg. Siegers hangs back to jab it away on the leg side but misses and wears it on the back thigh. A stifled appeal for LBW. Turned down by the umpire. Fatima Sana checks with the keeper regarding the height. The bowler is not that interested, but Sana eventually sends it upstairs with a second left on the timer. No bat involved on UltraEdge. Well, well, it is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball hitting the top of the leg stump. Heather's stay has been cut short. Netherlands Women are 32/1, chasing 127.
