Paul van Meekeren To Sahibzada Farhan
FOUR! Edged and gone for four. Pace on offer, short and wide of off, Sahibzada Farhan looks for the pull but gets the timing wrong. Top-edged this behind the stumps and the ball still races to the fence for four more.
7.4
0
Paul van Meekeren To Sahibzada Farhan
Slower one, around middle and off, Sahibzada Farhan flicks this a bit too hard for a quick single straight to mid on. Loud call off no from Farhan straightaway.

Paul van Meekeren To Babar Azam
Short and on off, Babar Azam pulls this in front of square on leg towards deep mid-wicket for a single. This chase is tailor-made for someone like Babar who brings assurance to the crease more than strike rate.

Paul van Meekeren To Sahibzada Farhan

Roelof van der Merwe To Babar Azam
Flighted around middle and leg, Babar Azam flicks this through mid-wicket for one.
DRINKS! After the Powerplay, Netherlands were 50/2, so Pakistan are ahead in terms of runs. They do not have to take many risks, as there is no pressure of the asking rate, but looking at their approach, it looks like they want to chase this target as soon as possible, because NRR may play a big role later in the tournament. The Dutch need wickets as only that currency can get them back in this game. Scott Edwards has introduced Roelof van der Merwe to bowl after the break.

Logan van Beek To Sahibzada Farhan
Good length, going down the leg, Sahibzada Farhan misses out on a flick and gets rapped on the pads. 61/2 after Powerplay!

Logan van Beek To Babar Azam
Missed run out chance! Back of a length around middle and leg, Babar Azam dabs this around covers and calls for one. Sahibzada Farhan runs straightaway but even that wouldn't have been good enough had the throw from Bas de Leede hit the stumps at the striker's end. That would have been a massive wicket for the Dutch.

Logan van Beek To Babar Azam
Back of a length around off, Babar Azam looks to cut this off his back foot but misses.

Logan van Beek To Sahibzada Farhan
Excellent effort from the Dutch pacer to save three runs for his side. Short and on off, Sahibzada Farhan punches this crisply towards the left of mid on and a diving effort to his left from Kyle Klein saves three for the Netherlands.

Logan van Beek To Sahibzada Farhan
SIX! That has been flicked up and over the fence for a biggie. Full and drifting down leg, Sahibzada Farhan leans inside the line and just whips at it with fast hands to flick this over the fence towards deep square leg for a biggie.

Logan van Beek To Sahibzada Farhan
Good length, angling into the batter, Sahibzada Farhan dances down the track and gets cramped for any sort of room. Ends up getting hit around the thigh pad.

Aryan Dutt To Salman Agha OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Aryan Dutt gets the revenge. He bowls this slower through the air this time, full and outside off. Salman Agha backs away again to go over covers, but has to reach out for it. He ends up slicing it off the outer half of the bat straight to extra cover, where Michael Levitt crouches and reverse cups it nicely. Pakistan lose their skipper, and are 53/2 now. 95 runs needed in 91 balls.

Aryan Dutt To Salman Agha
FOUR! Pleasing to the eye! Aryan Dutt bowls this quicker and shorter, just around off. Salman Agha makes a bit of room, gets on top of it and smacks it past the diving cover-point fielder for another boundary. 50 UP FOR PAKISTAN!

Aryan Dutt To Sahibzada Farhan
SIX! Even better and bigger now! Tossed up, full and on off, Sahibzada Farhan goes down on one knee. He does not quite get to the pitch of it, but reaches out and hoicks it over the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen of runs.

Kyle Klein To Salman Agha
Pitched up and just outside off, Salman Agha tries to reach out for it but gets an inside edge onto his pads as the ball rolls beside the stumps. There is a bit of a mix-up between the batters, and they decide against the run in the end. However, Agha does not look happy with his partner here.
