Watch: Mohammad Nawaz's comedy of errors hilariously gets him run out vs Netherlands - Video Highlights of the Day

Pakistan and Netherlands are locking horns in the second match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday, October 06 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. The Netherlands captain won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat first. The Babar Azam-led side was bundled out for 286 as Bas de Leede finished as the pick of the bowlers for his side with his spell of 4/62 in nine overs.

During the first innings, a bizarre moment was witnessed on the pitch as Mohammad Nawaz got run out in the 47^th over. On the second ball of the over bowled by Colin Ackerman, Shaheen Afridi tried to play a reverse sweep but the ball ended up hitting his pad and went towards short fine leg.

Sensing an opportunity to steal a single, Mohammad Nawaz left his crease but was sent back by Afridi. However, Ackerman failed to collect the ball at the non-striker’s end prompting the two batters to run overthrows. The Dutch spinner ran behind the ball to quickly collect it and threw it straight into the stumps at the striker’s end. Nawaz was found short of his ground as Pakistan lost their ninth wicket in 267.

Earlier in the innings, Pakistan got off to a miserable start as they were left reeling at 38/3 after 9.1 overs. Fakhar Zaman (12 off 15), Imam ul Haq (15 off 19) and Babar Azam (5 off 18) all departed cheaply leaving their side in all sorts of trouble early on.

Rizwan and Saud Shakeel stabilize Pakistan's innings

However, Mohammad Rizwan (68 off 75) and Saud Shakeel (68 off 52) stabilised their innings with their 120-run stand off 114 balls. Mohammad Nawaz (39 off 43) and Shadab Khan (32 off 34) also made valuable contributions to their team’s total. Useful cameos from Shaheen Afridi (13* off 12) and Haris Rauf (16 off 14) took Pakistan to 286 all out in 49 overs. Bas de Leede (4/62, 9 overs) and Colin Ackerman (2/39, 8 overs) were the top two wicket-takers for the Netherlands.
