Pakistan will certainly miss the services of Naseem Shah who got ruled out because of a shoulder injury. Who Pakistan play in place of Naseem vs Netherlands will be interesting to watch. Whether Mohammad Wasim Jr comes in or Hasan Ali, only time will tell.

The other worry for Pakistan is their spin-bowling department. Shadab Khan is not in best of form and the other two bowlers- Usama Mir and Mohammad Nawaz lack quality. Mickey Arthur, Pakistan's Director of Cricket, on the form of the spinners, said, "The quality of the players that we have in those positions is undoubted. So, it's about making sure that those guys are in a great space technically, they're in a great space mentally, and then just hopefully that they click tomorrow and then from there the confidence just grows and grows and grows. So, I've got no worry around the skills of the players we have. The skills there are exceptional."
