Pakistani Team will start its campaign in World Cup Cricket 2023 from today, Pakistan will face Netherlands in Hyderabad, 6 batsmen, two all-rounders and three fast bowlers are included in the Pakistan team. The Pakistani team is among the favorites of the World Cup and has won 24 out of 36 matches in the concluded World Cup cycle and captain Babar Azam has presented himself as the best batsman in modern day cricket. He was Pakistan’s highest run-scorer in the 2019 World Cup, since then he has been ranked number one in the ICC World ODI Rankings.

Pakistan’s opening batsmen Fakhar Zaman and Imamul Haq started the innings, but the Pakistani batsmen struggled to face the Dutch bowlers from the beginning of the innings. After the top order of the national team failed, Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel took over the team and took the score to above 100. Saud Shakeel showed excellent batting performance and scored a magnificent fifty off 32 balls. He hit 7 fours and more. Wicket keeper batsman Muhammad Rizwan also completed 50 runs with the help of 6 fours while batting well. However, Saud Shakeel returned to the pavilion after scoring 68 runs in the 29th over of the game. After that, Pakistan’s fifth wicket also fell on 182 runs. Keeper-batter Muhammad Rizwan was dismissed after playing an innings of 68 runs off 75 balls, besides this, Muhammad Iftikhar also returned to the pavilion for 9 runs, while Shadab Khan also left the team after scoring 32 runs. After that, Muhammad Nawaz played an innings of 39 runs. While Hasan Ali returned to the pavilion for zero, Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi took the score to 286 runs in the closing overs.

In pursuit of the desired target, Netherlands’ Vikramjeet Singh scored 52 and Bus De Lady scored 67, while none of the batsmen could score a remarkable score. On behalf of Pakistan, Haris Rauf took three wickets, Hasan Ali took two wickets while Shaheen Afridi, Shadab Khan, Muhammad Nawaz and Iftikhar Ahmed took one wicket each.

Shaheen Afridi will have a key role in Pakistan’s pace attack in this World Cup. He was the youngest bowler to take five wickets in a match in the last World Cup. During these four years, he has taken 46 wickets even though he was out of cricket for seven months due to a knee problem, but he has emerged as a dangerous bowler in international cricket.

She will be playing one day international for the first time since 1987 in Hyderabad Deccan. Friday’s ODI between Pakistan and Netherlands will be the seventh ODI between the two and since 1996 Pakistan have won all six matches. The last ODI between the two was last year when the Pakistani team toured the Netherlands and swept the first ever bilateral series between the two.

Netherlands captain Scott Edwards won the toss and decided to field first. National team opener Fakhar Zaman once again proved unsuccessful and returned to the pavilion with an individual score of 12 in the match being played at the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Captain Babar Azam is at the crease with one run while Imamul Haq has scored 3 runs.
