Pakistan made 286 all-out in 49 overs as wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan (68 off 75 balls) and Saud Shakeel (68 off 52 balls) helmed their innings on either side of a batting collapse. Netherlands were then bowled out for 205 in 41 overs. Netherlands pacer Bas de Leede (4/62) checked Pakistan’s batters with a good spell.

De Leede then returned to make a brave 67 off 68 balls but Pakistan bowlers led by Hasan Ali and Harris Rauf, who grabbed five wickets among them, warded off the batting side.
