2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 2 Pakistan v Netherlands 6/10 1900hrs @ Rajiv Gandhi Stadium

[NYRB]

Bas De Leede goes bang for 6

Genuine contest right now : Haris Rauf v Bas De Leede.

 

[NYRB]

This has similar 2015 vibes: Watson v Wahab

 

[NYRB]

if your Pakistan captain, id be tempted to bowl out Haris Rauf here............he has 3 overs left.

 

[NYRB]

van Beek is limping, surprised he is batting behind van de Merwe. Suggests to me he isnt 100% fit.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan win by 81 runs and Netherlands gave a good account of themselves.

 

[NYRB]

Saud Shakeel with the Player of the Match.

 

[NYRB]

Pakistan keep a nice little record in tact:

Id love to see more of Bas De Leede in Australia in some way, shape or form. Quality cricketer.

He played Suburban Turf comp in WA when he was starting out due to the fact that Ryan Campbells brother coached there.

I would never have guessed that. Im assuming he also played grade cricket in WA in some way?

Nope just one season of Surbuban Turf.

He also played like 10 matches in Australia literally last year as part of the T20 World Cup + warm-ups.
