Scott Edwards, the captain of the Netherlands, won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan as both sides tried to advance in the Twenty20 World Cup in Perth on Sunday.
The Netherlands are looking for their first points after losing to Bangladesh and then table-toppers India in a competitive Group 2.
Roelof van der Merwe, Brandon Glover, and Stephan Myburgh are all back on the team.
With two losses, Pakistan, coached by Babar Azam, is also pointless. Fakhar Zaman replaced Haider Ali in the team that lost against Zimbabwe at the same site.
If the Asian giants are to repeat their semi-final performance from a year ago in the United Arab Emirates, they must win their last three games and hope other outcomes go their way.
Netherlands: Roelof van der Merwe, Tim Pringle, Fred Klaassen, Brandon Glover, Paul van Meekeren, Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Tom Cooper, Scott Edwards (captain).
Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam (captain), Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are Pakistan’s players.
Paul Reiffel (Australia) and Richard Illingworth served as the umpires (ENG)
