Pakistan will look to clean sweep the Dutch
The Babar Azam-led side will be looking to whitewash the home team in the ODI series. In the first two games played between these teams, the Green Brigade has come on top. However, in the first game, the Orange Army gave the visitors a tough fight chasing 315 but fell short by just 16 runs.
In the next game, the Asian team completely dominated as they won by seven wickets. In the last game, the Scott Edwards-led side will be looking to salvage some pride and pull off an unlikely win against a Test-playing nation. However, it won't be easy for them as they lack experience at this level.
