Despite early setbacks, Pakistan managed to build a competitive total of 286 thanks to a partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, followed by a significant contribution from all-rounders Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohammad Rizwan scored 68 runs, while Saud Shakeel impressed with a 52-ball 68. Mohammad Nawaz contributed 39 runs, and Shadab Khan added 32 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, the Netherlands faced initial challenges but managed to put up some resistance, with half-centurions Vikramjit Singh and Bas de Leede adding 70 runs for the third wicket. However, Pakistan&#8217;s bowlers, including Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Iftikhar Ahmed, Nawaz, and Shadab, combined to restrict the Netherlands to 205 runs in 41 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan&#8217;s net run rate was crucial in rolling out the opposition, and they achieved a net run rate of 1.620.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan&#8217;s next match is against Sri Lanka, and they are aiming to continue their winning momentum. Mohammad Nawaz emphasized the importance of starting the tournament on a positive note and expressed confidence in carrying the momentum forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nawaz also praised the partnerships in the middle and lower-middle order that helped Pakistan set a defendable total. He acknowledged Saud Shakeel&#8217;s brilliant counterattacking cricket and highlighted the importance of the partnership between Rizwan and Saud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the upcoming match against Sri Lanka, Nawaz stated that past results would not affect their mindset, and they would approach the game with a positive outlook. Pakistan has an excellent record against Sri Lanka in the ICC Men&#8217;s Cricket World Cup since 1975, winning all seven encounters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan had a successful start to their ICC Men&#8217;s Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign with a convincing 81-run victory over the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
