Pakistan began their pursuit of a first 50-over World Cup title since 1992 with an 81-run win over Netherlands in Hyderabad.<\/p>\n

Babar Azam’s men were made to work for their victory by the side viewed as rank outsiders heading into the tournament as Dutch all-rounder Bas de Leede impressed with bat and ball.<\/p>\n

De Leede had bagged five wickets and scored 123 against Scotland in the qualifying tournament to secure Netherlands’ spot in this World Cup – their first since 2011 – and he claimed a four-wicket haul and struck 67 versus Pakistan before his side were outgunned.<\/p>\n

Score summary<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n

Pakistan 286 all out in 49 overs:<\/b> Saud Shakeel (68 off 52 balls), Mohammad Rizwan (68 off 75 balls); Bas de Leede (4-62)<\/p>\n

Netherlands 205 all out in 41 overs:<\/b> Bas de Leede (67 off 68 balls), Vikram Singh (52 off 67 balls); Haris Rauf (3-43)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Netherlands were dismissed for 205 chasing 287, slipping from 120-2 in the 24th over once leg-spinner Shadab Khan removed Vikram Singh (52) and fast bowler Haris Rauf (3-43) struck twice in an over, with De Leede seventh man out, bowled by Mohammad Nawaz.<\/p>\n

De Leede twice picked up two wickets in an over as Pakistan were all out for 286, bowling Mohammad Rizwan (68) with a beauty and having Iftikhar Ahmed (9) caught behind in the 32nd before finding himself on a hat-trick when he castled Shadab (32) and trapped Hasan Ali (0) lbw in the 44th.<\/p>\n

Pakistan play Sri Lanka in their second match on Tuesday, with Netherlands aiming to cause an upset a day earlier against a New Zealand side who trounced England by nine wickets in the tournament opener in Ahmedabad on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Pakistan were on the back foot at 38-3 in the 10th over after being inserted, with skipper Babar (5) and openers Fakhar Zaman (12) and Imam-ul-Haq (15) all dismissed, only for Rizwan and Saud Shakeel (68) to put on 120 for the fourth wicket in 114 deliveries.<\/p>\n

That stand was ended when Shakeel fell tamely on the sweep, while Pakistan were 188-6 three overs later as De Leede nipped a delicious delivery between Rizwan’s bat and pad and then nicked off Iftikhar.<\/p>\n

Shadab and Mohammad Nawaz (39) took Pakistan past 250 with a half-century stand before they lost their last four wickets for 34 runs.<\/p>\n

De Leede and Singh shared a 70-run partnership from 76 balls in the chase to cause Pakistan a few jitters but Babar’s side came through comfortably in the end – Rauf cleaning up Paul van Meekeren (7) to clinch victory in the 41st over.<\/p>\n
