Pakistan is set to face off against the Netherlands in Match 29 of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Perth. The Pakistan team, having lost both their previous league matches, must secure a victory in this game to keep their tournament hopes alive. 

In their most recent match, they showcased strong bowling but couldn't complement it with their batting, narrowly missing their chase of 131 runs against Zimbabwe. Key players to watch for are Shan Masood and Haris Rauf.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands also suffered losses in their previous two outings and are eager to deliver improved performances. They faced India in their latest match and conceded 179 runs. 

Unfortunately, they could only manage 114 runs in response, resulting in a 65-run loss. The Dutch team will rely on standout performances from Max O’Dowd and Paul Van Meekeren.
