World Cup 2023: Shadab Khan abuses in frustration after his dismissal vs Netherlands

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. After being put into bat first, Pakistan were bundled out for 286 with Saud Shakeel (68) top-scoring with the bat.

All-rounder Shadab Khan also made a good contribution to the total as he scored 32 (34) smashing two fours and a six in his innings. He got involved in a 64-run stand for the seventh wicket off 70 balls. However, he couldn’t finish the innings for his side as he lost his stumps against Bas de Leede in the 44^th over of the innings. The right-handed batter missed a straight delivery which crashed into his stumps and brought curtains on his innings.
