NED VS PAK - 2nd ODI (Rescheduled match), Pakistan tour of Netherlands, 2022

That brings an end to our coverage of today's ODI. Pakistan were far superior than what they were a couple of days back. They lead the series 2-0, and their next aim will be to clinch the series by a 3-0 margin. Will they be able to do so? Join us on Sunday (21st August) for the coverage of the third ODI to find that out. For now, it's a goodbye from our side. Good night and take care!

Babar Azam: It was a good effort by the fast bowlers, they bowled well with the new ball. The spinners bowled well later on, so we were happy. In the morning there was moisture on the pitch, that's why I wanted to bowl first. The wicket was under covers yesterday, anyway credit to the pacers and the spinners. We are trying different combinations, Salman showed his class today. He played very well today, so looking forward to the next game.

Scott Edwards: We knew it was going to be hard at the start. Always hard to come back from that (8/3) situation. I thought 250 would have been enough, but we couldn't get going. I think this wicket works well for finger-spinners. There are a lot of positives to take, hopefully we get a win on Sunday.

Mohammad Nawaz | Player of the Match: It looked like Karachi today. Once they ( the opposition batters) face 90 miles against the pacers, they come after me. Sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not. My focus is to perform as an all-rounder, I try to give my hundred percent. I am there for my team whenever they need me.

17:22 Local Time, 15:22 GMT, 20:52 IST: Quite a comfortable victory for Pakistan as they take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the 3-match ODI series. The first ODI was a close contest, but it was a clinical performance by Pakistan today. Netherlands elected to bat first, but it turned out to be an awful decision. They were reduced to 8/3 as Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf were sensational with the new ball. Netherlands had a decent partnership thereafter as Tom Cooper and Bas de Leede added more than 100 runs for the fourth wicket. However, Pakistan stormed back well after that stand to bowl out Netherlands for 186. In reply, Pakistan lost their openers early, but the partnership between captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan proved to be the match-defining one. Both - Rizwan and Babar notched up their fifites, and Agha Salman played an equally impressive knock of 50*(35). In short, it was Pakistan all the way. Stay around for the presentations..

Kingma to Agha Salman, SIX, yes, he does! Agha Salman hits the winning runs! Also, brings up his fifty with this maximum! A back of a length delivery by Kingma and Agha Salman stands tall to smoke this over long-on with a mighty swing. Removes his helmet as Rizwan charges towards Salman to give him a hug. What an authoritative shot to draw curtains to the game! Pakistan - 2 | Netherlands - 0

Tim Pringle to Rizwan, SIX, that's a maximum to end the 33rd over. Rizwan goes down on his knee to play the slogsweep and connects it pretty well. Vikramjit Singh at deep mid-wicket gets his hands to it, but ends up parrying it over the boundary
