PITCH REPORT - It was raining earlier but it's a beautiful blue sky right now. The pitch is rock hard. The pitch should play similar to the first game.

Netherlands (Unchanged playing XI) - Scott Edwards (C/WK), Logan van Beek, Tom Cooper, Teja Nidamanuru, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Tim Pringle, Max O'Dowd, Wesley Barresi, Aryan Dutt, Vivian Kingma.

TOSS - Netherlands have won the toss and they will BAT first!

Pakistan have one of the best batting line up but their bowling was a shade disappointing. Netherlands showed that and if they put up another tight performance, they have a real chance to equal the series. Will they be able to do it? We will find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit.
