Pakistan bowlers have rattled Netherlands batting line-up at Perth Stadium as they restricted the  opponents to 91/9 in 20 overs. The 24-year-old Shadab Khan picked three wickets in the game, while Mohammad Waseem scapled 2 wickets. Meanwhile, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Harif Rauf picked one wicket apiece.

Notably, Pakistan needs to win its third game with a huge margin to improve their net run-rate in the points table after losing the first two games of the tournament. Meanwhile, Pakistan top-order Mohammad Rizwan, who is receiving lot of criticism from all quarters for delivering poor performances against India and Zimbabwe, was seen donning an ICC badge on his collar during ongoing match against Netherlands. 

Rizwan received the badge after he was awarded with Player of the Month honor for September 2022 following his clinical performances in Asia Cup 2022, and against England. 

Top-seeded batter scored seven fifties in the ten games he played in the month, including two 70 plus scores against Hong Kong and India in the Asia Cup. Rizwan also finished the continental tournament as the leading run-scorer.
