Pakistan got off to a nervous start at the T20 World Cup, edging past the Netherlands in a tense opening match thanks to a late blitz from Faheem Ashraf.
Chasing 148, Pakistan looked comfortable at first but suddenly collapsed and nearly suffered a shock defeat. The Netherlands tightened the pressure, leaving Pakistan needing 29 runs from the final two overs.
Faheem Ashraf then turned the game around with a quick-fire unbeaten 29, smashing big shots to seal a jittery win for Pakistan with three balls to spare.
