Match 29 of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 saw Pakistan face the Netherlands at the Perth Stadium. It was a cakewalk for Pakistan as they brushed aside the Dutch side to register their first win of the competition.
Batting first, only two batters managed to get to double digits as the Netherlands scored only 91 in their quota of 20 overs. Colin Ackermann top-scored with 27 for the Dutch side. Shadab Khan bowled beautifully for Pakistan and finished with figures of 3/22 in his four overs.
In reply, Mohammad Rizwan, who opened the batting, played a very good knock of 49 to help Pakistan chase down the total with ease. They crossed the line in the 14th over to register their first win of T20 World Cup 2022. Brandon Glover picked up two wickets with the ball for the Netherlands but failed to defend the total.

There is no change in the lineup for the most runs list of T20 World Cup 2022. Kusal Mendis continues to lead the charts.
