Cricket World Cup 2023 Live: Pakistan successfully fends off the Dutch challenge, emerging victorious. The Netherlands displayed remarkable resilience, keeping Pakistan on their toes throughout the match, a commendable feat. Restricting Pakistan to 286 with their bowling performance was a significant achievement.

The Dutch innings started promisingly, with Vikramjit Singh displaying fluent strokeplay and capitalizing on loose deliveries. O'Dowd and Ackermann's contributions were modest, but Bas de Leede, a versatile performer, once again showcased his talent. Partnering with Vikramjit, they laid the groundwork for a potential historic chase.

However, as Vikramjit fell while trying to accelerate, the Dutch side faced a sudden loss of wickets, creating immense pressure. De Leede fought valiantly but saw partners depart quickly. Despite Van Beek's spirited efforts, other batsmen failed to make substantial contributions, resulting in the Dutch falling short by 81 runs.

"The way Hyderabad supports us, we are very happy. Our team is enjoying the hospitality. Pretty satisfied, credit to the bowlers, the way started well and the way we took wickets in the middle overs. We lost three wickets, the way Rizwan and Saud batted put pressure on the Netherlands. Saud built his innings and played well. He has improved a lot. Our bowlers bowled very well, we stuck to our plans, Haris bowled quick and took wickets."

LIVE PAK vs NED Cricket World Cup 2023: Netherlands Captain Scott Edwards

"Firstly, a little bit disappointing. Think we bowled a fielded really well. Credit to Pakistan, they batted well in the end. Felt the total was par, we felt we were in the game when we were on 120. Captaincy is a bit about instinct, lot of options out there. Bas de Leede is fantastic in all three departments of the game. Just needed someone to go with him. Haven’t spoken to van Beek, we’ll assess that and see where it goes. Probably one that got away, we were in a pretty good position. They just took a few wickets in the middle there."
