Pakistan needed 29 off 12... Faheem Ashraf did THIS! 💥 Watch the insane 19th over that saved the Men in Green! 📺🔥

Pakistan survived a massive scare to kick off their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a nervy 3-wicket victory over the Netherlands in Colombo! Watch the full highlights of a rollercoaster chase that went down to the final over.

Chasing a modest 148, Pakistan seemed to be cruising at 90/2 thanks to Sahibzada Farhan (47 off 31). However, a stunning middle-order collapse saw them lose 5 wickets for just 24 runs, leaving them reeling at 114/7.

Enter Faheem Ashraf. With 34 runs needed from the final three overs, the all-rounder played a blinder. He targeted Logan van Beek in the 19th over, smashing 24 runs (6, 6, 4, 6) to turn the game on its head. He finished unbeaten on 29 off just 11 balls to drag his side over the line with 3 balls to spare.

Earlier, the Netherlands were bowled out for 147, despite a solid 37 from captain Scott Edwards. Salman Mirza was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan with figures of 3/24.
