Pakistan vs Netherlands T20 World Cup Highlights – 30 Oct 2022
Babar Azam
I am very happy. Performed very well in the bowling and in the batting. Length was crucial. Everyone executed their plans. In my opinion we could chase better than this. But a win always gives you confidence. We’ll try to do our best in the next matches and win.
Scott Edwards
That was still the right decision to make. We haven’t batted first all tournament. We thought if we got a score on the board, we’ll give the bowlers a chance to defend it. Just not good enough today. Couldn’t get partnerships together, couldn’t string any boundaries. Bowlers always put their efforts in, but 90 was never going to be enough.
Shadab Khan is the Player of the Match
I just tried to bowl it at the stumps, that was my plan, just to keep it simple. I have bowled against few of their players in county cricket, so I know how they play. All our bowlers bowled well. The fast bowlers put pressure in the powerplay, and I took wickets because of that pressure built.
Pakistan vs Netherlands Cricket Highlights today. 29th Match, Group 1, Perth Cricket Ground, Saturday 30-10-2022, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
Babar Azam
We are not under pressure, but it’s not going to be easy for us. We need to focus on this game. In T20 you need a good start in the first six overs. Our middle order has performed well in patches, but we need to step up as a unit. Fakhar is back in.
Netherlands won the toss and decided bat first
Pitch Report with Danney Morrison
Looks like a good flat track with sunny conditions that will assist the batters. The bowlers will be able to extract some bounce and pace as well
