Netherlands and Pakistan go head-to-head in Perth, looking to register their maiden points of the T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 after successive defeats in their opening fixtures. With both teams' hopes of progression to the semi-finals hanging by a thread, victory is an absolute must if they are to keep their faint chances of survival alive.
Following Thursday’s shock defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe, Babar Azam’s men head into their third match knowing that their future in the tournament is beyond their control. However, if they are to stand any chance, it remains essential for them to win all three of their remaining fixtures.
“We are as hurt as any cricket fan would be,” Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf said in his pre-match media conference. “The tournament is not finished for us and we can still make a comeback, we have three games left and we are confident of doing well.
“We have analysed our mistakes and will do better. We are focused on our cricket and not listening too much to what is being said outside.”
