Pakistan return to Netherlands for the first time since 2004 for a three-match ODI series, part of the ICC Super League.
Pakistan are in Netherlands for a historic three-match ODI series, their first-ever bilateral affair against the Dutch. The series is, in fact, Pakistan’s maiden set of matches against the Netherlands on their shores.
Pakistan last visited the European country for the 2004 Videocon Cup tri-series, featuring India and Australia. They have played only three previous ODIs versus the Netherlands, winning each of those games comprehensively as part of multi-team ICC events in 1996, 2002 and 2003.
The Asian giants have reached Rotterdam for three ICC Super League games, with critical qualification points on offer towards the 2023 World Cup in India.
Top 7 teams alongside hosts India make the quadrennial event directly from the Super League, while the rest will have to fight for the final two spots through a global qualifier.
Netherlands have another great opportunity to host a prominent full-member country in what has been a bumper season for them. They had played their first-ever bilateral ODI series against West Indies and England earlier in their summer.
1st ODI – Aug 16 – Hazelaarweg, Rotterdam – 2:30 PM IST
2nd ODI – Aug 18 – Hazelaarweg, Rotterdam – 2:30 PM IST
3rd ODI – Aug 21 – Hazelaarweg, Rotterdam – 2:30 PM IST
There will be no live telecast of the series in India.
