Pakistan overcame an early scare to beat Netherlands by 81 runs, having been 38-3 early in their innings. Haris Rauf and Saud Shakeel were the stars for Pakistan, but the player of the day was unquestionably Bas de Leede – the young Dutch all-rounder took four wickets and scored an impressive half-century from the middle order. Ben Gardner and Yas Rana run through the talking points from the game, share a few more thoughts on England’s opening day defeat to New Zealand and look forward to two fascinating games coming up on day three of the 2023 World Cup.
