What channel is Pakistan v Netherlands Cricket World Cup 2023 match on? UK time, TV coverage and live stream
Check out how to watch Pakistan v Netherlands in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
Pakistan begin their World Cup campaign against the Netherlands, in what should be a simple victory for the Shaheens to get their tournament underway.
The Netherlands were the surprise qualifiers for the tournament, finishing ahead of the likes of the West Indies, Ireland and Zimbabwe in a cut-throat qualifying competition held earlier this year, which saw just two of the 10 nations competing make it to the World Cup proper.
The achievement was all the more impressive given they managed it despite missing several key players who were locked into domestic contracts in England.
For the World Cup, the Netherlands are back at full strength, but their best-case scenario for the competition will be nabbing a couple of wins against the weaker nations.
As a result, the match should be a walk in the park for Pakistan, who will consider themselves strong candidates to go all the way and win their first World Cup since 1992.
Led by the generational talent of Babar Azam, and with world-class all-rounder Shadab Khan holding the team together, they’ll be a fascinating side to follow across the competition.

Pakistan v Netherlands key player to watch
Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan)
Pakistan are short of one superstar quick bowler in Naseem Shah, who has been ruled out of the entire tournament, meaning even more emphasis will be put on the skills of their other superstar, left-arm quick Shaheen Shah Afridi.
The Netherlands top order will be far from the sternest test he will face across the competition, but Pakistan’s hopes of going deep in the competition rest on the ace in their pack delivering from the off.
