Pakistan will take on the Netherlands in Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, in the 2nd fixture of the ICC mega event.

Pakistan would love to start their ICC Men’s ODI World Cup campaign with a win. For this, Pakistan has to play the best possible eleven with a positive mindset. The following could be the best Playing XI for Pakistan against the Netherlands.
Pakistan Playing XI vs. the Netherlands
Babar Azam (c), Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi
Salman Ali Agha could replace Saud Shakeel because of his spin bowling ability but Pakistan needs a proper batter at No.5. Saud Shakeel will be better for that place and Iftikhar could be the 6th bowling option for the captain.
The other probable situation is that introducing another leg spinner Usama Mir in place of Muhammad Nawaz. But do you think Babar trusts Usama Mir’s batting ability? He is a good all-rounder but hasn’t proved himself at the big stage.
