Netherlands, on the other hand, have nothing to lose as they will be participating in their 7th T20 World Cup, led by Scott Edwards. With a low winning percentage of 37% in previous tournaments, the Dutch have never reached the round of 16.
However, that doesn’t mean they should be taken lightly, as they have a habit of causing major upsets. Most recently, they toppled heavyweights South Africa in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Pakistan also has a reputation for being unpredictable. The wounds from the defeat to 18th-placed USA in the 2024 T20 World Cup, which resulted in group stage elimination, are said to be still fresh, and they will be careful not to repeat that mistake. After losing the final of the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, they won the Cup in 2009, but have not won the championship since.
Sri Lanka’s pitches should be slow and help turn, making Pakistan a serious Cup contender. This could be a good opportunity for them to win the T20 World Cup for only the second time.
