Pakistan vs Netherlands T20 World Cup: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details for Match 29
Pakistan will square off against the Netherlands in the 29th game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Perth Stadium in Perth. Pakistan are struggling after consecutive losses. They lost to India in a nail-biting opener before losing to Zimbabwe by one run in a low-scoring thriller.
After Pakistan were asked to bowl first, Muhammad Wasim Jr. picked up four wickets as Zimbabwe were restricted to 130-8. Shan Masood top-scored with 44, but lack of contributions from the other end led to their narrow loss. Pakistan will now have to win their remaining games to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.
The Netherlands, meanwhile, qualified to the Super 12 stage of the tournament after winning two of their three games in the group stage. However, they have lost both games thus far, including their last one to India by 56 runs on Thursday.
Batting first, India scored 179-2. What followed next was a disappointing performance from the Netherlands, as they finished their innings on 123-9. They will need to beat a bruised Pakistan side on Sunday to retain their slim hopes of the last four.
