With this win, Pakistan have registered their two points and are at fifth position. Netherlands is at the bottom and is yet to gain a point. Mohammad Rizwan (49) and Shadab Khan (3/22) were the key architects of this crucial win
A 35-run stand between Colin Ackermann (27) and skipper Scott Edwards (15) was useful for the Dutch to stay away from a humiliating finish. Shadab Khan (3/22) made sure that Netherlands' back was broken in the first half itself, which led to them not even touching 100-run mark
Both teams are winless in the tournament so far and they sit at the final two positions of the points table. A win will be good for Pakistan after a loss to arch-rivals Pakistan in their first match and a shock loss to Zimbabwe next
