Pakistan cruise past Netherlands to seal first T20I win in Australia

PERTH: Pakistan’s mainstay Mohammad Rizwan starred with a strong 49-run knock after bowlers dominated Dutch batters to help Pakistan ease past the Netherlands to achieve their first-ever T20I win on Australian soil, here on Sunday in the Super 12s Group 2 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.

Shadab Khan led the charge for the Green Shirt as he returned sensational figures of 3/22 in his four overs quota

Set to chase 92, Pakistan comprehensively reached the target with 37 balls to spare and for the loss of just four wickets.

Rizwan top-scored for the side with a cautious 39-ball knock and remained one run short of his fifty as he fell prey to Paul van Meerkan in the 13th over.

Skipper Babar Azam, however, remained unfortunate as he failed to make it into the double for the third consecutive time in this T20 World Cup when substitute fielder van der Merwe ran him out with a direct hit at the bowler’s end.

Following Babar’s dismissal, Fakhar Zaman, who replaced Haider Ali in the playing line-up, joined Rizwan on the crease for an anchoring partnership of 37 runs and took the scoreboard to 53/1 in 7 overs before Brandon Glover dismissed the left-handed batter in a caught-behind wicket.

Opting to bat first, Netherlands batters showcased a dismal batting performance as eight of their batters failed to enter into double figures. Apart from a brief 35-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Colin Ackermann and skipper Scott Edwards none of the batters stood up to the challenge posed by Pakistan bowlers. 

Ackermann top-scored for the side with a cautious 27-ball 27 while skipper Edwards contributed 15 off 20. The duo went back one after another in the 15th and 16th over, respectively and set the alarm bells ringing for the Netherlands.

Pakistan’s main strike bowler Shaheen Afridi provided the first breakthrough in the third over as the opener Stephan Myburgh was caught at fine leg by Mohammad Wasim Jr after scoring 6 off 11 while his partner Bas de Leede retired hurt after Haris’ bouncer hit him on the grille in front of the nose in the sixth over.

Leg spinner Shadab struck on the very first of his spell as No 4 batter Tom Cooper (1 off 2) pulled straight to mid-wicket where he found Wasim Jr.

Following the dismissal of Edwards, the rest of the batters were bundled out in single digits as the wickets kept on falling at regular intervals with Rauf and Wasim Jr dominating in the death overs.

For Pakistan, apart from Shadab, Wasim Jr bagged two wickets while Shaheen, Mohammad Nawaz and Naseem took a scalp each.

Shaheen Afridi appeals to fans to pray for his speedy recovery, comeback

AMSTERDAM: Pakistan ace pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi requested his fans to pray for his speedy recovery and comeback to the national team.

Shaheen, on his way to Dubai along with the national squad, talked to this reporter here and appealed to the nation to pray for the speedy recovery of the left-arm pacer.

“I request the fans to pray for my quick recovery. I’ll be back soon Inshallah,” he stated.

On his departure to Dubai, the left-arm pacer also interacted with the fans and also posed for selfies with them.

Earlier, PCB Medical Advisory Committee and independent specialists suggested the star pacer to rest for four to six weeks in light of the latest scans and reports.

Following this, the left-arm pacer was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 and the home T20I series against England and is likely to make his comeback in the home series against New Zealand.

It is pertinent to mention here that the 22-year-old pacer sustained the injury amid Pakistan’s first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Babar, pacers power Pakistan to whitewash Netherlands in ODI series

ROTTERDAM: Pakistan captain Babar Azam led the way for his side with a magnificent 91 before pacers Naseem Shah and Mohammad Wasim Jr decimated the Netherlands batting lineup and powered the touring side to complete a clean sweep in the ODI series.

Set to chase a paltry 207, the Netherlands batting line-up crumbled on 197, thus handing a narrow nine-run victory to the men in green.

The home side were off to a dismal to their run chase as they lost three wickets for a mere 37 runs in the 14th over.

Left-handed opener Vikramjit Singh, however, stood firm and kept the scoreboard ticking single-handedly before running into an important 71-run partnership with Tom Cooper for the fourth wicket.

The pair appeared solid with Singh amassing his half-century before Mohammad Wasim Jr removed the former for 50. He faced 85 deliveries and smashed seven boundaries.

Following his departure, Cooper stood up for his team and kept the scoreboard ticking single-handedly while the hosts were losing wickets at a regular interval at the other end.

The right-handed batter top-scored for the side with 62 off 105 deliveries before falling to Wasim Jr in the 46th over. He smashed four boundaries in the course of his gritty knock.

The rest of the Dutch batters remained clueless in front of a strong Pakistan bowling attack as the visitors clinched the victory by nine runs in the third ODI.

Right-arm pacer Naseem led the way for Pakistan with a five-wicket haul, while Wasim Jr followed back with four wickets to his name.

Pakistan, after opting to bat first, could not pose a commendable total on the board as the touring side bowled out for a paltry 206 in the 50th over.

Batting first, the touring side was off to a dismal start as the debutant Abdullah Shafique walked back to the pavilion in the second over after scoring two.

Following his departure, left-handed opener Fakhar Zaman and skipper Babar anchored the innings with a gritty 55-run partnership for the second wicket before Logan van Beek castles the former on 26 to provide an early breakthrough to the Netherlands.

Babar then joined hands with the youngster Salman Ali Agha and added 46 runs for the third wicket before the latter fell short after attempting to go big. He scored 24 off 42 deliveries and smashed a boundary.

Pakistan then began to lose wickets at an alarming, while Babar, on the other end, held his ground firm and kept the scoreboard ticking single-handedly.

The right-handed batter top-scored for the side and led from the front with a valiant knock of 91 runs off 125 deliveries, laced with seven boundaries and two sixes.

Besides Babar, left-handed all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz remained the other significant contributor as he scored an important 27 off 45 deliveries including a boundary and two sixes.

Pakistan’s batting tail then had no answers to the Dutch bowling attack and the touring side, in the end, bowled out for a skimpy 206 in the final over.

For the Netherlands, Bas de Leede led the way with three wickets, while Vivian Kingma bagged two. Shariz Ahmed, van Beek, and Aryan Dutt, on the other hand, made one scalp each.
