This one could be even more one-sided than England v NZ.

Yes, Pakistan getting a thrashing

 

[number11]

Pakistan should win this.
Cricket needs Pk to go far, and generally be a strong team.
This sport has 8 pedigree sides - and Pk are one of the more glamorous sides. It's enjoyable watching them play [sometimes].
Realistically, they should win. That said, if there is one side that can slip up against the Dutch - it may be the lads from Lahore.

This will be closer than it seems I reckon

I’ve put 8p on the Netherlands. Returns 88p

Does cricket really need a strong Pakistan?

Pakistan got a habit of losing first world cup match. And as they are facing Neds, probably they will lose this

Pakistan by either 160 + runs or 8 wickets

Have jumped all over Netherlands here @15/1.
Double chance as either they pull off the upset or the fix is already in, in which case it's already a winner.

Netherlands win toss and field - obviously hoping for a similar change in conditions to yesterday.

Can't stop the Wellington Firebirds at this World Cup, it seems.
