icc men's t20 world cup 2026

Salman Mirza to Paul van Meekeren, out Caught by Usman Khan!! Netherlands have been bowled out for 147. A massive collapse and they might've fallen at least 20 runs short here. Was a back of a length delivery around off and Paul van Meekeren swung across the line, gets a thin edge through to the keeper - no real appeal, but the batter knew he had edged and he's happy to walk off. Paul van Meekeren c Usman Khan b Salman Mirza 0(1)

Salman Mirza to Aryan Dutt, out Caught by Sahibzada Farhan!! Pakistan have been excellent in the field today - another high catch and Sahibzada holds on with ease, was the slower ball and Aryan Dutt was through with the flick, caught the leading edge and went many a mile in the air - Farhan called for the catch, settled under and completed it with ease. Aryan Dutt c Sahibzada Farhan b Salman Mirza 13(8) [4s-2]

Shaheen Afridi to van der Merwe, out Caught by Salman Agha!! A high catch and Salman Agha completes a fine catch at deep cover - was a good length and just outside off, was bowled with the scrambled seam - van der Merwe was through with the lofted drive, the ball lobbed high and hung in the air for an eternity - Salman backtracked from cover, kept his yes on the ball and completed a fine reverse-cupped catch, even as he tumbled backwards. van der Merwe c Salman Agha b Shaheen Afridi 4(9)

Saim Ayub to Zach Lion Cachet, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! They're falling apart now - slower and shorter from Ayub, Zach Lion Cachet backed away on the pull and he has to wait on the ball, that robs him of all the momentum, has to drag the pull, came right off the bottom of the bat and another simple chance at deep mid-wicket. Zach Lion Cachet c Mohammad Nawaz b Saim Ayub 9(8) [4s-1]

Saim Ayub to Logan van Beek, out Caught by Salman Agha!! A simple catch for cover and NED are falling away slightly - tossed up nicely outside off, might've dipped onto the right-hander and Logan van Beek is early into the drive, spoons a sitter to cover and the Pakistan captain wasn't going to drop those. Logan van Beek c Salman Agha b Saim Ayub 0(1)

Abrar Ahmed to Edwards, out Caught by Sahibzada Farhan!! A one-handed top-edge on the sweep and Edwards has holed out to deep backward square leg - Another well-set batter fails to go deep for NED, tossed up around off and Edwards went for another sweep, but it's Abrar's extra bounce which lands him in trouble, has no control over the shot, the bottom-hand comes off and Sahibzada Farhan holds onto a simple catch, right in front of the ropes. Edwards c Sahibzada Farhan b Abrar Ahmed 37(29) [4s-3 6s-1]

Mohammad Nawaz to Bas de Leede, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Oh dear! Bas de Leede has thrown his start away - was pushed through quicker and just outside off, hint of turn and Bas de Leede couldn't get on top of the lofted shot - skewed it slightly and carves it right down Babar's throat at long-off. They were going so well, but Pakistan have struck back through spin. Bas de Leede c Babar Azam b Mohammad Nawaz 30(25) [4s-4]

Abrar Ahmed to Ackermann, out Bowled!! Abrar Ahmed strikes in his first over! 85.7kph, scrambled seam, may have been the carrom ball, Ackermann stays in his crease to work it through the on-side and drags it onto his stumps via an inside edge. Abrar roars in delight. Ackermann b Abrar Ahmed 20(14) [4s-4]

Mohammad Nawaz to Michael Levitt, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! Long way up in the air and there's a tag-team catch! Michael Levitt crouches low to tonk it downtown. It's off the lower part of the bat. He actually gets enough wood on it to almost get it over the boundary rope. Babar Azam runs to his right from long-off and catches with both hands. As the momentum takes him over the boundary rope, he lobs the ball up in the air just before his right leg is grounded. Shaheen, who had run back from mid-on, takes the catch. Babar Azam is pumped and the Pakistani players are cock-a-hoop as the Netherlands lose the dangerous Levitt. Michael Levitt c Shaheen Afridi b Mohammad Nawaz 24(15) [4s-3 6s-1]

Salman Mirza to Max ODowd, out Caught by Usman Khan!! In the air and taken! 126.2kph, off-cutter into the deck, O'Dowd looks to pull and top-edges. Goes a long way up in the air and the keeper calls for it. Usman Khan runs towards the square leg region and isn't distracted by the other fielders converging. Keeps his eyes on the ball and does well to pouch it with both hands. Max ODowd c Usman Khan b Salman Mirza 5(7) [4s-1]

Logan van Beek to Shadab Khan, out Caught by Edwards!! This is going from bad to worse for Pakistan - they have lost their 7th wicket or have they? Shadab Khan has reviewed the caught behind call - on a length and angling down leg, Shadab Khan got inside the line on the flick, the bat is close to the ball. Onto UltraEdge: There's a spike and he's OUT - Delight in the Dutch camp as they sense something special now. Heads down in the Pakistan camp, their supporters look shocked as well - on a good length and angling down leg, Shadab got inside the line on the flick and there's a tiny inside edge, Edwards moves to his left and he was convinced, so was umpire Kumar Dharmasena. Shadab Khan c Edwards b Logan van Beek 8(12)

Kyle Klein to Mohammad Nawaz, out Caught by Edwards!! The pressure gets to Nawaz and Pakistan are making it difficult for themselves - was the slower ball from Klein, he rolled his fingers across the seam and bowled it into the pitch - no pace for Nawaz to work on, went hard on the pull, lost his poise and the ball lobbed high off the bat. Edwards calls for the catch, settles under and holds on with ease. Mohammad Nawaz c Edwards b Kyle Klein 6(13)

van der Merwe to Babar Azam, out Caught by Kyle Klein!! Oh dear! Are Pakistan imploding? Babar Azam was one batter who could've taken this chase deep, but he looks to go over the top and holes out to long-off - was nicely tossed up on off and Babar ran down the pitch, he's undone in the flight though and skews a mistimed lofted drive, high and to the right of long-off - Klein runs to his right and completes a fine catch. All of a sudden, Pakistan have slipped from 98 for 2 to 100 for 5. Babar Azam c Kyle Klein b van der Merwe 15(18) [4s-1]

Paul van Meekeren to Usman Khan, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Two in the over and Paul van Meekeren is making Netherlands believe - short of a good length and just outside off, too close to cut and Usman attempts to manufacture something out of nothing - brings the bat down with an angle and drags an inside edge back onto his own stumps. Can NED slice through and put Pakistan under pressure now? Usman Khan b Paul van Meekeren 0(2)

Paul van Meekeren to Sahibzada Farhan, out Caught by van der Merwe!! A sharp catch and NED keep themselves interested - it's 41-year old Roelof van der Merwe with a superb catch. Banged in short and just outside off - Farhan was shaping for the pull, hops across and cannot get on top of the bounce, a bit of a top-edge as the ball lobbed down towards long-on, van der Merwe sprints across to his right, times the slide perfectly and comes up with a sublime effort. Soft hands and he ensured that the ball didn't pop out when he landed on the ground. Sahibzada Farhan c van der Merwe b Paul van Meekeren 47(31) [4s-4 6s-2]

Aryan Dutt to Salman Agha, out Caught by Michael Levitt!! Aryan Dutt yells 'come on' after removing the Pakistani captain. It's on a length and just outside off. Agha makes room to cut again. Isn't in control of his shot on this occasion. Fails to keep it down and picks out cover-point. Levitt crouches to reverse-cup it. Salman Agha c Michael Levitt b Aryan Dutt 12(8) [4s-3]

Aryan Dutt to Saim Ayub, out Caught by van der Merwe!! In the air and taken! The dangerous Saim Ayub has to depart. 98.9kph, length ball around off, the left-hander looks to play the no-look lofted hit trying to go over mid-on/midwicket. The ball balloons up in the air off the leading edge and van der Merwe reverse-cups it. Saim Ayub c van der Merwe b Aryan Dutt 24(13) [4s-4 6s-1]
