Pakistan toured the Netherlands to play a 3-match ODI series. The 3rd ODI match was held in Rotterdam yesterday while the Pakistan team won the series by winning the first 2 matches.
Pakistan team batted first in this match. Captain Babar Azam was the highest scorer in that team after scoring 91. The team lost all wickets for 206 runs in 49.4 overs while the rest of the players did not play much. Pakistan, who were 104/2, then lost 8 wickets for the next 102 runs, and if not for Babar Azam, Pakistan would have suffered a crushing defeat.
Vivian Kingma took 2 wickets to take 3 wickets as Netherlands’ pass tea lead.
After that, the Netherlands team entered the field with a target of 207 runs. The team’s opener Vikramjit Singh was dismissed after scoring a half-century. Apart from him, Tom Cooper made an excellent contribution with 62 runs.
The Netherlands team lost all wickets for 197 runs and lost by 9 runs while the rest of the players did not play.
19-year-old Naseem Shah took 5 wickets for Pakistan. With this, Pakistan won the 3-match series by 3-0.
It was obvious that Pakistan would lose the chase most of the time. Pakistan were looking for wickets especially during Tom Cooper and Vikramjit Singh’s partnership of 71 runs. But Naseem’s 5 wickets and Wasim’s 4 wickets completed the Netherlands story.
Chasing the target is not a big deal and India would do well to learn from Pakistan’s batting line-up for 206 runs. Man of the Match Naseem Shah.
