ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: M1: NED vs PAK at Colombo on 07/02/26 - Page 6

Is there a shock awaiting Pak team??

NED 147(19.5)

PAK 104-5(13.3)

CRR:7.7

REQ:6.77

Pakistan need 44 runs in 39 balls

Klein to Nawaz, OUT

Skied... and the captain takes it! Slower one from around the wicket. Back of length, angle in. Nawaz looks to pull it over square leg. Gets a top edge that goes right up. Easy catch and Klein is delighted. Netherlands are into the bowlers

Mohammad Nawaz c †Edwards b Klein 6 (13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 46.15

van Beek to Shadab, OUT

Strangled down leg! Shadab has reviewd. Length ball on leg, beats the leg glance. Ball's close to bat. What does Ultra-Edge say? There is a deviation with bat next to ball

Shadab Khan c †Edwards b van Beek 8 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

Is the very first match on the very first day giving us the first WC upset?👀

The first match itself is a shocker??!!!

PAK

115-7(17)

CRR:6.76

REQ:11

Pakistan need 33 runs in 18 balls

Logan van Beek to Faheem Ashraf, SIX, to deep mid-wicket

Pakistan need 21 runs in 10 balls

Faheem has been dropped - Max O'Dowd, he could've won the match for his team, full-toss outside off, was the slower ball that dipped onto the left-hander - Faheem swung and got it low off the bat, went high and to the right of long-on - O'Dowd had it covered, got both hands, but it popped off his grasp and he couldn't grab it on the rebound

Now, it'll be an easy vitory for Pak

Congratulations to Pak for their thrilling win against Neds.

That was a thriller Did not expect it.

Netherlands had a good chance of winning this match if Dowd wouldn’t have dropped that catch. Hard luck Netherlands!
