T20 WC: ‘We Keep Our Nerves In Check And Get Good Results,’ Says Pakistan’s Faheem After Match-winning Knock Against NED
T20 World Cup: Pakistan began their T20 World Cup campaign with a close three-wicket win over the Netherlands, narrowly avoiding a major upset thanks to an exceptional late-innings cameo by Faheem Ashraf, who believes that the team’s ability to keep ‘nerves in check’ helped them arrive at the result.
What seemed like an easy target became a nerve-wracking finish, as Pakistan needed an extraordinary 29 runs in the last two overs. However, the No. 8 batter responded superbly, scoring an unbeaten 29 from only 11 balls.
The chase started smoothly, with Pakistan reaching 61/2 during the powerplay and seeming well on track at the midpoint. However, the game changed dramatically when Paul van Meekeren took a double-wicket maiden, sparking a collapse that caused Pakistan to lose wickets rapidly. Accurate bowling from the Dutch side limited the scoring rate and put the favorites under intense pressure, as the Netherlands briefly appeared to pull off a remarkable upset.
