Pakistan took 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
Pakistan rode Fakhar Zaman's scintillating century and three-wicket hauls from Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah each to nose out the Netherlands by 16-runs in the first ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Batting first, riding on Fakhar Zaman's century and skipper Babar Azam's fifty, Pakistan huffed and puffed their way to 314 runs for the loss of six wickets in their stipulated 50 overs.
Netherlands, in reply, gave a spirited fightback to Pakistan's well-oiled bowling lineup. However, the wickets kept tumbling at crucial junctures to eventually see the hosts fall short by 16 runs.
