Pakistan and Netherlands are set to cross swords in the 29th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Perth Stadium on Sunday. Let us look at PAK Vs NED Who will win in detail.
The men in green is almost out of the tournament after facing two back-to-back defeats. Their lose against India in the first game is quite acceptable, giving Inida is a bigger team and currently the no.1 ranked team in the world. But a defeat from Zimbabwe on Thursday is not being digested all the Pakistani supporters.
Netherlands, on the other hand, who reached the Super 12 stage after a comprehensive qualifiers stage where they ended as the second best team, also lost their first two games in the Super 12 Phase but their performance against big teams is something they will cherish.
What to expect from Pakistan?
The Babar Azam-led side, one of the hot favourites to win the Cup in a complete shock now after facing a 1-run defeat from Zimbabwe.
After restricting the Ervine’s side to 130 in 20 overs, Pakistan was hoping to chase down the target with ease. But, a mini collapse after 13th over not just shocked the team but all their supporters as they failed to chase the target by 1 run.
Although the team is strong, skipper Azam’s form is a topic of concern though. But they are known for strong comeback and everyone is hoping the same for the side.
What to expect from Netherlands?
Nothing to loss, Netherlands playing their campaign with some positive attitude. Even after losing their two games, they are somehow satisfied with their journey so far. And why not, as they restricted the World’s dangerous batters Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten till the innings, failed to guide their team to cross 200-mark with 8 wickets in hand, describing the gripping bowling line-up of the Dutch side.
They are playing some really good cricket for the past few times, and they will look to play a decent game too against Pakistan.

Pitch Report
Pakistan played their last game at Perth. The men in green lost the low-scoring game there, and the pitch will likely to perform on the same line, and we can expect another low-scoring game on Sunday.
PAK Vs NED Who will win?
Pakistan is a strong team on paper. And despite losing two games they will look to bounce back strongly to keep their semis hope alive.
