Faheem Ashraf played an explosive late cameo as Pakistan defeated a spirited Netherlands side in a nerve-testing opening match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Colombo’s Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) Ground on Saturday. Chasing 148 for victory, the Green Shirts looked in serious trouble after a middle-order collapse despite a brisk start, at one stage needing 29 runs from the final two overs. Batting at No. 8, Faheem rose to the occasion, smashing 22 runs in the penultimate over against Logan van Beek.
