In the 1st ODI between Netherlands and Pakistan at Rotterdam, the hosts almost managed to pull off an upset against visitors Pakistan while chasing a huge total. Interestingly, two 'Australian' batters almost took the Dutch to a terrific win against Pakistan.

Tom Cooper, former South Australian batter, scored a quickfire knock of 65 runs in 54 balls with 6 fours & 2 sixes. While Victorian wicketkeeper-batter Scott Edwards smashed 71 runs off 60 deliveries with 6 fours & a six as these two were taking the Netherlands to an unlikely win. However, the task of scoring 93 runs from the last 10 overs proved a bit much for the hosts as the Dutch fell just 16 runs shy of the target.
