"Chasing 148, Pakistan appeared in serious trouble after a middle-order collapse despite a strong start and were left needing 29 runs from the final two overs. Batting at No. 8, Faheem turned the match by taking 22 runs off Logan van Beek in the penultimate over. He struck three sixes and a four in the over and, with four runs required from four balls, finished the game with a boundary."
"Earlier, opener Saim Ayub set the early tempo with 24 off 13 balls, including four fours and a six, before Aryan Dutt dismissed him in the third over with Pakistan 27-1. Captain Salman Ali Agha joined Sahibzada Farhan to maintain the scoring rate and the team passed 50 inside five overs, although Agha fell soon after for 12 from eight deliveries."
"Pakistan were well placed at 98-2 after 11 overs before the Netherlands mounted a sharp comeback, reducing them to 114-7. Paul van Meekeren initiated the collapse in the 12th over with two wickets in succession, dismissing Farhan and then Usman Khan for a duck. Roelof van der Merwe followed by removing Babar Azam for 15, leaving Pakistan 100-5 in the 13th over. Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan departed cheaply as the chase faltered before Faheem's late intervention."
Pakistan chased 148 and secured a three-wicket victory with three balls to spare after Faheem Ashraf’s unbeaten 29 off 11, including 22 runs off Logan van Beek in the penultimate over. Saim Ayub (24 off 13) and Sahibzada Farhan (47 off 29) provided early momentum alongside Babar Azam. A middle-order collapse saw Pakistan tumble from 98-2 to 114-7 following quick strikes from Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe. Pakistan’s spinners earlier restricted the Netherlands to 147 all out in 19.5 overs despite a positive start from Michael Levitt.
