Netherlands fall of wickets

Dutch paceman Vivian Kingma struck early when he sent the bails flying with his first ball in the second over, dismissing opener Abdullah Shafique. Wickets continued to fall as Pakistan edged to 150-5 by the 40th over. Up-and-coming Dutch youngster Aryan Dutt took the crucial wicket of Azam — the world’s top-ranked ODI batsman — when the Pakistan captain was on 91 and seemed set for his 18th ODI century. Azam pushed the ball into the air with Dutt diving and taking a brilliant one-handed catch for his 10th one-day international wicket. The Dutch batsmen replied with veteran Cooper scoring a third consecutive half-century and rising youngster Singh carving his third international half-a-century off 85 deliveries.
