Encouragement for the Netherlands as they bowled out Pakistan for 286 in Hyderabad with an over to spare, but experience told in the second innings as the Oranjes couldn't quite do it with the bat despite half-centuries for Vikram Singh and Bas de Leede, who also became the fourth Dutchman to take a World Cup four-fer after Feiko Kloppenburg, Azeel Raja and his own father Tim (all of them twenty years ago in Zimbabwe). As expected, the Hyderabad pitch favoured pacers with three wickets for Haris Rauf as well.

Double-header of intriguing encounters tomorrow as Afghanistan face Bangladesh up in the Himalayas, while South Africa take on Sri Lanka in the capital.
