PAK vs NED, World Cup 2023: Cricket Fantasy Tips and Teams for 2nd Match (Source: AP Photos)
The World Cup 2023 is on the way with the match between England and New Zealand. As the tournament moves into its second game, Pakistan (PAK) takes on the Netherlands (NED) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The match will be taking place on 6th October, Friday from 2:00 PM IST.
Pakistan enters this tournament after a lacklustre show in the Asia Cup 2023. Where they were pitched as one of the favourites, Babar Azam and his team failed even to make it to the summit clash of the tournament. Besides, they have been plagued with injury from the tournament. The absence of Naseem Shah will weaken their bowling attack. However, Pakistan will look to regroup quickly and get their World Cup campaign off to a winning start.
