Buoyed by their two run win over West Indies in the knockout phase of this competition along with a man of the match performance from Zafar Gohar, Pakistan on the back of a 105 run first wicket partnership between captain Muhammad Babar (51) and Muhammed Nadeem (90) scored 332-5 in their 50 overs then bowled out Holland for 102 to win their opening game in the league competition of the CLICO sponsored International Under-15 cricket tournament by a whopping 229 at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence yesterday.
Pakistan who won the toss and opted to take first strike on a good batting wicket, rallied around useful contributions from Ashan Ali (57) and Gohar’ 50* punishing the young Holland bowling despite the valiant efforts of James Gruijters who grabbed 4-53 from nine overs.
