Preview

Pakistan will be up against the Netherlands in the opening match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. We are in the carnival of the biggest event in T20 cricket. Pakistan arrives confident after winning 3-0 against Australia and they will be high on confidence. Salman Ali Agha will lead the side and they have a good squad. The spinners, in particular, are really good and they will be keen to do well. Pakistan plays all their games in Sri Lanka, so that is an advantage for them. Meanwhile, the Netherlands is no stranger to ICC events. In the past, they have shown that they can upset the big teams. Scott Edwards will captain the side and they will be looking to bank on some experience to do well here.
