Pakistan vs Netherlands

Pakistan have bounced back strongly to beat Netherlands by 82 runs having bowled them out for just 93 in 17.3 overs. This ensures them of qualification into the super eight stages and eliminates Netherlands from the tournament. It was a masterclass bowling performance from all their bowlers, but Shahid Afridi who finished with 4/11 and Saeed Ajmal with 3/20 off his 4 overs stood out. Kamran Akmal became the first keeper to stump four batsmen in an innings in a World T20 game. It would be fair to say Pakistan are back.

Kamran Akmal is the Man of the Match.
