Netherlands vs Pakistan 2nd ODI: NED vs PAK head-to-head records and stats

After some nail-biting moments, Pakistan managed to eke out a 16-run victory over Netherlands in the first One Day International. The Babar Azam-led side would be hoping to win their second outing convincingly and take an unassailable lead when the two teams face off at Rotterdam on 18 August. In the first of the three ODIs, the visitors were powered by a 168-run partnership between Fakhar Zaman and skipper Babar Azam. Zaman scored 109, while Azam chipped in with a crucial 74 to power Pakistan to 314. Netherlands then started the chase with some early fumbles, but stabilized later on. However, they were unable to stand up against the pace attack of Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Wasim.

For Netherlands, Scott Edwards was the top scorer with 71 runs to his credit. Tom Cooper and Vikramjit Singh also slammed half-centuries. Logan van Beek and Bas de Leede scalped 2 wickets each.
For Pakistan, their bowlers did their job well. Their top-notch pace attack, led by debutant Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf made sure that the hosts could not get past the finish line. Both Rauf and Shah scalped 3 wickets each. Naseem Shah gave away just 52 runs in 10 overs and made sure that onlookers would sit up and take notice of his performance.
