Pakistan vs Netherlands Highlights – T20 World Cup

Pakistan Bat

Netherlands Bat


Watch cricket highlights – Pakistan vs Netherlands from the 2009 T20 World Cup.

Scoreline: Pakistan 175/5: Kamran Akmal 41 (30), Younis Khan 36 (20), Misbah 31 (20), – Nannes 4-26-1
Netherlands fall short 93 all out. Needed 151 to qualify for the Super Eights – Shahid Afridi 4-11-4, Saeed Ajmal 4-20-3

The Pakistan approach to start with was perfect considering they needed a big win today, but yet again, the middle overs trickled away a bit. A good finish however, including one of Afridi’s better sixes in recent times. Spin was always going to be an issue for the relatively less experienced Dutch side and it was quite surprising that de Grooth came in at No 6 considering his day out vs England. Sohail Tanvir was back but looked to have picked up some sort of injury midway through his spell. Finally some joy for Afridi fans (even if it wasn’t with the bat), considering he’d hit the pits of ridicule in Pakistan’s loss vs England.

The atmosphere at the ground was hardly as charged as the last Pakistan game, which was surprising considering this was their do-or-die moment. There’s been plenty of controversy regarding Younis Khan’s comments after their loss to England – “I’ve never attached too much importance to T20 cricket as it is fun cricket”. Kamran Akmal might not be the most articulate (in the English language), but in today’s post-match, he was probably a lot clearer about the fun aspect, which for all you know is what Younis originally intended to say. I mean, you’ve got to take what Younis says with a bit of leeway considering he’s possibly the only cricketer who calls Warne, Shanie.

Pregame: It’s a fairly simple situation for Pakistan. Win as big as possible. A just-about-win won’t be good enough cos of the poor NRR Pakistan suffered in the loss vs England. The one thing going for Pakistan against Netherlands is their spinners Ajmal and Afridi. The Dutch on the other hand will be like, bring ‘em on. Will better sense prevail and Tanvir play today. Will the Netherlands emerge as a serious contender for the semis. The tournament’s just about to hit fever pitch.

    What a language. Congrats to Pakistan by the way.

    Everyone show some respect for fellow humans and dont rise when one person does not show that respect. We can all get on if we try.

    To Malik & Hanif, It is really not good what language you are using. The concern was with Pakistans win and that is it. As far as James is concerned it all explains his character & attitude the way he expresses his anger but you(malik & hanif) are not supposed to be such type of guys otherwise we would expect you also from the same pool. Be always modest whatever circumstances are, that is what is our faith and belief. Congrats to all Pakistani Fans!

    Charm Greetings to all! Netherland is a nice team but didnt play well today and also expectations are that they will be quite competitive soon. Well, Pakistan were really looking for the win and they won it comfortably but needs to make some improvement in fielding side. I think this T20 World Cup Series is really going tough for everyone and I dont think anyone can predict who can be the winner.

  14. david f

    Pakistan will have to up their fielding if they are going to get any further.Well done for today though.

  15. Waseem

    I think Ahmad Shehzad should be back in the team and should replace Salman because Salman’s lack of confidence in the field can cost Pakistan a huge price…rest everything is perfect in order.

    Congratulation for Pakistani Team. They have come from a ditch to regain their position.This time team joint efforts were tremendous in every aspect, batting, fielding/bowling etc.

  23. khaleel

    I agree with IPL SUCKS and JAMES … ———

    I think they need training is each and every field (i.e. How to speak, how to react , how to leave and most imp. HOW TO FIELD….)

  29. justacricketfan

    It was good for pakistan to finish this game strong even though there were few mishaps in the beginning. they should hav won the last t20 wc but i dont think this time they will go any further than super eight round.

  30. toallhaters

    to all haters.

    shut the f up.

    @Iplsucks: mate atleast pakistanis speak a bit of english do you think netherland or britishers can speak their language? no. so shut the f up you idiot. learning a language does not mean you are better than others.

  38. Abu bakar

    Thank’s for providing great highlights. To all matches

  39. Roshan

    If the Dutch got few more spinners,they should have restricted Pakistan from getting runs.On the other hand,Afridi,shoheb took quick wickets.Spinners gonna be the high wicket takers in this tournament.Dutch girls are sooo cute !!

  40. please get out shahid afridi and mohammad aamir and please come imran nazeer and abdul razzaq

  41. Pakistan are so f**king shit, omg, i reckon the team that antonio plays for could beat them, bret is a f**king chode, England are the best

  42. Archie

    Afridi played at the county ground in northants and was okay, he is amazing now

  43. removed

    pak is the worst team in t20…frankly i am surprised that they have managed to reach the super 8s…but am sure they will be f**cked real hard by all the other teams in the super 8s….just look at the way they field..disgusting…they should not be allowed to play in this tournament from next time onwards…

  44. khaleel

    wow amjad have soem respect for allah.you said the f word and your telling other ppl not to bring god in?

  45. super match

  46. Best of Luck for Pakistan in Super Eight

  47. biggie

    West Indies Fielding was horrible too but they managed to kick australia out and they almost won against SL. Fielding is important but Pak batting needs Imran Nazir, Imran Farhat

  48. hi, i love to see match and happy for pakistan,

  49. asgharkhan

    i am khan from usa we love pakistan lets enjoy vectory
