In today’s opening match of the ICC World Cup 2023, Pakistan and the Netherlands faced off at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Pakistan, led by captain Babar Azam, aimed to kick off the tournament on a strong note before facing two critical matches against Sri Lanka on October 10 and arch-rivals India on October 14. The Pakistan team had disappointing results in both warm-up matches, losing to New Zealand in the first one and to Australia in the second.
On the other hand, the Netherlands sought to make a statement by upsetting Pakistan in their opening match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Both of the Netherlands’ warm-up matches were affected by rain, with the first one being abandoned after Australia batted for 23 overs and the Netherlands for around 14 overs. The second warm-up match was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Notably, the Netherlands is the only Associate nation in this tournament. They made their debut in 1996 and lost all five matches they played. However, they made a strong impression in the qualifiers with a statement win over West Indies in a super-over after the scores were level at 374.
