Pakistan vs Netherlands T20 World Cup HIGHLIGHTS: PAK defeat NED by 6 wickets

Shadab Khan was adjudged Player of the match for his performance. “I just tried to bowl it at the stumps, that was my plan, just to keep it simple. I have bowled against few of their players in county cricket, so I know how they play. All our bowlers bowled well. The fast bowlers put pressure in the powerplay, and I took wickets because of that pressure built. We didn’t finish the game well in the last couple of matches, but we managed to do it today,” he said after the match

It has been a good all-round performance from Pakistan. They should have achieved that target early but lost wickets regularly. Nevertheless, they eventually went over the line quite comfortable after Shadab who had been brilliant with the ball hit a boundary to finish things off

That’s the end of the match. Pakistan are finally off the mark. They have completed a dominating win by 6 wickets against Netherlands after chasing down a target of 92 runs

After 9 overs,Pakistan 68/2 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 38 , Shan Masood 6)

NED vs PAK LIVE
Shan Masood has been brilliant in the recent past. He has been scoring runs consistently and needs someone to stick around with him and build a partnership

After 7 overs,Pakistan 53/1 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 29 , Fakhar Zaman 20)

NED vs PAK LIVE
Pakistan have been steady in the run chase despite losing skipper Babar Azam. Babar’s form has become a cause of concern for the side now

PAK vs NED LIVE
Rizwan is looking in good touch finally. A fuller one from Meekeren and Rizwan smashes it through the mid on region for a boundary

Pakistan vs Netherlands
Ohhh! That’s a big wicket. Babar Azam has to walk back, courtesy a brilliant direct hit at the non-striker’s end by van der Merwe. The batter pushed one to the mid on region and the fielder was quick enough to charge in, pick the ball and hit the bull’s eye. He goes for 4 off 5

After 1 overs,Pakistan 11/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 11 , Babar Azam (C) 0)

Pakistan vs Netherlands
This has been a quick start from the Pakistan side. They will have to keep the NRR in mind. It’s a good opportunity for Pakistan to win this one by a good margin

GOOD NEWS! The players are coming out. We will resume the proceedings soon for this game. Pakistan need 92 from 20 overs. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan will open the innings. Fred Klaassen will bowl the first over

OOPS! All of a sudden, we have a weather condition here. The umpires are having some chat. It’s windy but no real signs of rain at the moment though. Remember, the India-South Africa is also slated to take place here

Pakistan bowlers thoroughly dominated the Netherlands batting unit and restricted them to 91/9 in 20 overs. The pacers troubled the batters in the initial phase of the innings with extra bounce and later, Shadab picked up wickets in the middle-overs to push the Dutch on the back foot

PAK vs NED
Two in two for Wasim. He bowls another perfect yorker to Fred Klaassen that cleans him up for a first-ball zero. The pacer is on a hat-trick

A perfect inswinging yorker to Tim Pringle from Wasim as he tries to give himself some room to hit that through the off side but misses the ball and is cleaned up for 5 off 8

Wickets are tumbling at the moment. Edwards tries to go for the scoop as he walks across against Naseem Shah but miscues his stroke and is caught around fine leg by Iftikhar for 15 off 20. Netherlands lose five now

Pakistan vs Netherlands LIVE
Shadab has his third. He bowls it straight and full, Ackermann tries to reverse sweep that but misses the ball as it hits his front pad. The umpire raises his finger. The batter goes upstairs. But the ball tracking shows that it would have hit the stumps and he will have to walk back for 27 off 27

After 13 overs,Netherlands 53/3 ( Colin Ackermann 20 , Scott Edwards (C) (W) 10)

Pakistan vs Netherlands
Pakistan bowlers especially the pacers have been very accurate with the line and length. They are getting a bit of movement of the pitch and have troubled the batters thoroughly

A disciplined bowling performance in the Powerplay from Pakistan 👏#NEDvPAK | 📝: https://t.co/9F4Kc8mtIp

Pakistan vs Netherlands
This has been a brilliant performance from the Pakistan bowlers so far. Shadab has his second now as he traps Max ODowd in front of the stumps. The batter takes the review but the ball tracking shows that it was pitching in line and would have hit the stumps. He is gone for 8 off 13

After 8 overs,Netherlands 26/2 ( Max O’Dowd 8 , Colin Ackermann 4)

The onus is now on Max ODowd and Colin Ackermann to provide resistance and help the side put some runs on the board

After 7 overs,Netherlands 21/2 ( Max O’Dowd 6 , Colin Ackermann 1)

NED vs PAK LIVE 
Shadab gets a wicket on the very first ball that he bowls. Netherlands have struggled against the Pakistan bowlers so far

NED vs PAK LIVE SCORE
OHHH! That must have hurt. Haris Rauf is very quick. He bangs one short and it hits Bas de Leede’s helmet. The batter is taken by surprise with the bounce. In fact, he is walking back. That was a nasty one!

NED vs PAK LIVE SCORE
A boundary followed by a wicket. Shaheen had first bowler a fuller one, outside that was dispatched for four through the off side but bowled this one touch shorter, outside off as Myburgh went for the pull, top-edged that and was caught by Mohammad Wasim Jr behind. A good catch from Waseem as he runs to his left. Myburgh departs for 6 off 11

NED vs PAK LIVE
There is some movement on offer of the pitch. Pakistan bowlers have started the proceedings in a decent manner. Just three came in the first two

“We are not under pressure, but it’s not going to be easy for us. We need to focus on this game. In T20 you need a good start in the first six overs. Our middle order has performed well in patches, but we need to step up as a unit. Fakhar is back for Haider Ali,” Babar Azam said at the toss

Netherlands vs Pakistan 
Netherlands have won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan

The first match of the day went down the wire. Bangladesh kept their nerves and eventually clinched a win by 3 runs. Let’s move on to the second encounter now. It’s Pakistan up against Netherlands. This is surely a massive game for Pakistan. They haven’t been off the mark in the tournament

Meanwhile, we have another nail-biting encounter going on between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh . ZIM need 5 from 2

Netherlands on the other side, have faced some troubles with their batting. It has generally revolved around Max O’Dowd while Colin Ackermann chipping in with some runs on one occasion. The middle-order hasn’t been producing runs and this would be a huge problem for the Dutch against a formidable Pakistan bowling line up. They need the middle-order to go all guns blazing
