Pakistan Opt to Bowl First Against Netherlands in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Opener

By IANS News February 07, 2026 • 11:21 AM View: 384

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Netherlands in the opening game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 here at the Sinhalese Sports Club on Saturday.

Pakistan’s depth and seasoned lineup give them the edge, but the Netherlands can’t be taken lightly. If the conditions swing their way, this contest could be far more competitive than what most predictions suggest.
