Chasing a
stiff target of 315 for the win, the Dutch did not get off to a great start as
they lost Max O’ Dowd, Wesley Barresi, and Bas de Leede relatively early in the
piece. Leede got into double digits while the other two didn’t. Vikramjit
Singh and Tom Cooper took the score from 62-3 to 159-4 adding 97 for the fourth
wicket.
Vikramjit scored 65 off 98 balls but against the spinners, he was just
blocking and defending thereby increasing the required rate. Tom Cooper played
well for his 65 off 54 balls before being dismissed. Nidamanuru had a decent
outing scoring 15 runs.
Skipper Scott Edwards is having a golden period with
the bat with his 9th ODI fifty continuing his rich vein of form this
summer. He remained unbeaten on 71 off 60 balls but ran out of partners in the end. Logan van Beek contributed with a useful 28 off 24 balls, but it wasn't enough in the end. Pakistan gave away as many as 29 extras to the hosts something they will want to improve upon in the coming games.
Haris Rauf and debutant Naseem Shah got three wickets apiece with Rauf being more expensive while Shah was impressive on debut. A wicket for Mohammed Wasim Jr and Mohammed Nawaz who kept it tight as well. Shadab Khan was wicketless, but he kept things tight throughout.
Earlier in the game, Pakistan got off to a sedate start after winning the toss as they could not buy a run in the first powerplay. Imam-ul-Haq went nowhere as he managed a mere 2 off 19 balls. But it was the 168-run stand between Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam that set things up for Pakistan for a big total. Babar scored 74 off 85 balls while Zaman who was dropped on 41 today went on to make the Dutch pay by scoring a majestic 109 at run-a-ball.
There was a mini wobble with Rizwan (14), and Khusdil (21) falling cheaply. But it was Shadab Khan’s 48 off 28 balls and debutant Salman Agha Ali’s 27 off 16 balls unbeaten that propelled the visitors to 314-6 in 50 overs with the help of 15 extras.
Bas de Leede
was the pick of the bowlers for the Netherlands with a couple of wickets for 42
runs in 10 overs. Logan van Beek got a couple of wickets but went for 89 runs
in 10 overs. Aryan Dutt bowled at the top as his 9 overs yielded 44 runs.
Kingma got the other wicket for 61 runs in 9 overs. Tim Pringle went for 65
runs in 10 overs. Tom Cooper just bowled 2 overs for 8 runs.
So, Pakistan wins by 16 runs to gain 10 crucial World Super League points. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation ceremony coming your way soon.
