Babar Azam-led Pakistan will have a golden chance to inflict a 3-0 clean sweep over Netherlands in their own backyard when the two sides meet each other in the third and final ODI of the series on Sunday (August 21). Pakistan won the first ODI by 16 runs while winning the second game by a margin of 7 wickets. Their captain Babar has been in tremendous form at the moment, with two quality fifties in the two games so far. He will look to convert the fifties into a big hundred in the 3rd ODI. The 2nd ODI saw Mohammad Rizwan also play a crafty knock. With plenty of runs to score in the chase and Babar back to the hut, Rizwan ensured there were no further hiccups as he stroked a 69 off 82 balls to see his side through and take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. His knock included 6 fours and 1 six each.
Not to forget, the contribution from Agha Salman as well who played a quickfire knock of 50 off 35 balsl that included 5 fours and 2 sixes.

With the ball, Haris Rauf has been exceptional as he picked 3 wickets in the Thursday game vs Netherlands. But a word for Naseen Shah as well. He has been having a great time in Netherlands, picking wickets in the first over of his spell, a habit that Shaheen Shah Afridi has developed. Shaheen, who has been ruled out of Asa Cup 2022, due to an injury has not played a single game vs Netherlands in this series but thanks to Naseem's outbursts in the first spell, his absence has not been felt yet.
