| 2.1 : 2.1: Shaheen Afridi to Stephan Myburgh, FOUR! No stopping this one! Short in length and wide outside off, Stephan Myburgh latches onto it and smacks it past the cover-point fielder for a boundary. First shot of authority from Stephan Myburgh! |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Shaheen Afridi to Stephan Myburgh, OUT! CAUGHT! Shaheen Afridi gets his revenge immediately and raises both his arms in celebration. He digs it in short and extracts some extra bounce. Stephan Myburgh takes a step down and tries to pull but all he manages is a thick top edge. The ball flies down towards fine leg where Mohammad Wasim moves across to his left and takes the skier safely. First blow to the Dutch team! |
| 4.2: Mohammad Wasim to Bas de Leede, FOUR! Bang! Short in length and outside off, Bas de Leede wastes no time and whacks it over backward point for a cracking boundary. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Shadab Khan to Tom Cooper, OUT! CAUGHT! Shadab Khan comes into the attack and delivers for his side in no time. It is a short ball, on off. Tom Cooper swivels and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. He does not get the desired distance on it. It goes straight down the throat of Mohammad Wasim in the deep, who makes no mistake. Not a wicket-taking ball but we have seen leggies get success with some really ordinary deliveries. Shadab Khan is smiling, more in embarrassment. |
| 8.1: Shadab Khan to Max O'Dowd, OUT! LBW! A well-disguised googly from Shadab Khan. It lands around off and turns into the batter who is pushed on the back foot. Max O'Dowd attempts to work it across the line but misses and is clipped on the back leg, right in front of the leg stump. They appeal and the finger goes up immediately. Max O'Dowd has a word with his partner and takes the DRS. Nothing on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows three reds. Netherlands lose their third wicket now |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Shadab Khan to Colin Ackermann, EDGY FOUR! Colin Ackermann is trying to cut loose. Flighted delivery, full and outside off, Colin Ackermann comes down the track to heave it over the leg side. But all he manages is an outside edge and it runs down to third man for a boundary, only the third of the Dutch innings. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: Haris Rauf to Colin Ackermann, FOUR! Extraordinary shot! Back of a length, around off at 142 kph, Colin Ackermann shuffles across the stumps and paddles it behind. It goes closely past the keeper who is moving across to his right in anticipation. A very fine boundary at fine leg, more towards long stop. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Shadab Khan to Colin Ackermann, OUT! Given lbw! Colin Ackermann has decided to review the decision. Coming to the delivery - It's a flighted one, landing full around off and straightening a touch, Colin Ackermann tries to be inventive with the reverse-batted shot but fails to connect. He is hit on the pads, they appeal and the finger goes up. DRS time. Nothing on the UltraEdge and once again the Ball Tracking shows three reds. The on-field decision stays and Colin departs. Shadab Khan h |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Shadab Khan to Scott Edwards, FOUR! Plays that fine! Loopy again, full and around off, Edwards shuffles down and across before sweeping it past short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Naseem Shah to Scott Edwards, OUT! CAUGHT! Scott Edwards tries to be innovative but pays the price instead. It is a full-length ball, around off. Scott Edwards shuffles and goes for the scoop. There is not much pace to work with and it comes off from the shoulder of the willow. Iftikhar Ahmed charges towards the ball from fine leg and takes a sharp catch diving forward. Naseem Shah gets his first wicket of the innings. |
| 16.3: Haris Rauf to Roelof van der Merwe, OUT! TIMBER! Another one bites the dust! Roelof van der Merwe tries to break the shackles but gets dismissed instead. Haris Rauf dishes a length ball at 147 kph, angling in from around off. Roelof van der Merwe gives himself too much room and is unable to play the inside-out shot. The ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Pakistan are on the driving seat here. They will be looking to restrict the Netherlands under 100 here. |
| 18.3: Mohammad Wasim to Fred Klaassen, OUT! TIMBER! This is death bowling at its best. Mohammad Wasim is in a hurry to end things here. He is on a hat-trick now. Wasim goes with the yorker again, on off at 146 kph. Fred Klaassen looks to block it away but misses it completely. The ball goes onto castle the stumps. Delight for Pakistan and Mohammad Wasim. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Mohammad Wasim to Tim Pringle, OUT! Sound of the wood! Mohammad Wasim gets the yorker on the money and celebrates his first wicket. It is an inswinging yorker at 147 kph, full and in the blockhole. Tim Pringle tries to make room and smash it through the off side but fails to do so. The ball sneaks through to shatter the stumps. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Naseem Shah to Paul van Meekeren, OUT! RUN OUT! It is a slower ball, full, on middle and leg. Paul van Meekeren makes room and works it down to long on. Shadab Khan charges towards the ball and throws it flat towards the keeper. The batters were pushing hard for the second run but Paul van Meekeren could not make it time. Mohammad Rizwan gets rid of the bails before Paul van Meekeren could get past the popping crease. Netherlands end their innings at 91/9. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Fred Klaassen to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Goes down the ground and this will be the first boundary of the chase. A low full toss on off, Rizwan shows the full face of the bat and eases it down to long off. |
| 1.2: Paul van Meekeren to Babar Azam, FOUR! Paul digs it in short and extracts some extra bounce. It shoots up and Babar tries to slam it over point. Fails to connect properly and it flies over the keeper. Another boundary, this time off the outer edge. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Paul van Meekeren to Babar Azam, OUT! RUN OUT! Fuller in length around off, Babar works it off the inner half. The ball rolls to the right of mid on where Roelof van der Merwe picks it up and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end as the batters try to steal a quick run. The third umpire is referred and Babar is found short of the crease in the replays. The poor form of Babar Azam continues! |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Fred Klaassen to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! This is some way to open your account. A length delivery, wide outside off, Fakhar reaches out for it and blazes it through cover-point for a cracking boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Fred Klaassen to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! A lovely pick-up shot! Fred serves it on a length around off, angling in, Fakhar picks it up and flicks it over square leg. Fine timing and it races away to the fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Paul van Meekeren to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Rizwan picks the line early and puts it away. Too full from Paul van Meekeren, around middle, Mohammad Rizwan hammers it down past the mid on fielder for a boundary. |

| 6.3 : 6.3: Tim Pringle to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! EDGY! It is floated and full, outside off. Zaman tries to go for the drive. The ball takes the outside edge and runs down to the third man fence for four. Zaman hardly seems to be in any pain now. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Brandon Glover to Fakhar Zaman, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brandon Glover is elated here. Fakhar Zaman's brisk knock comes to an end. Glover goes full and outside off. Fakhar Zaman throws the kitchen sink at it, only to get an outside edge. Scott Edwards does well behind the sticks by diving to his left and pouching the ball safely. Pakistan are two down now. Can the Netherlands tighten the screws here? |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Brandon Glover to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Exquisite shot! Mohammad Rizwan has his eye in! It is pitched up, on off. Rizwan leans forward and drives it down the ground for a boundary at long on. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Brandon Glover to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries to end the over. Positive signs for Rizwan and Pakistan. It is full yet again, Rizwan strokes it down the ground. It goes past the bowler and races away to the long on fence. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Paul van Meekeren to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A dagger through the heart for Rizwan. He trudges back on 49 and misses out on his half century. Paul van Meekeren goes full, outside off, this one shapes back into the batters. Mohammad Rizwan shuffles across and looks to heave it away. He only manages to get a thick inside edge, the ball stays low as it travels towards the keeper. Scott Edwards there dives forward to take a sharp low catch. |
