Match State: Match start scheduled for 0400 GMT (10:00 local)
Good Morning all, its the Netherlands v Pakistan today in a pool
match but neither will be in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions
Trophy as Sri Lanka have already qualified from this pool.
They have played together once before and Pakistan had won".
Pakistan have had a string of recent losses, losing 6 out of 10
past matches and will have to cope without a coach after Mudassar
Nazar was sacked a few days ago.
Another problem they have is with injuries to Inzamam and Youhana
and today they will also rest Wasim Akram.
NL have Oosteron, Grandia and Statham out today.
The pitch has been used before but looks firm and should suit
batting, and again its a hot and humid day.:
The toss has been won by Netherlands and they have decided to bat.
