The Netherlands have opted to bat first against Pakistan after winning the toss as both sides look to kick off their World Cup 2023 campaign on a positive note. Pakistan has lost three wickets for just 60 runs. Captain Babar Azam could not perform well.
Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards said he opted to bowl first as he believes it would be easier to bat under lights.
Edwards, while talking at the toss, said that he was hopeful of a good performance against the Green Shirts because they’ve played Pakistan a lot in recent years.
On the other hand, Pakistani skipper Babar Azam said that they will be looking to set a target of over 290.
