Hyderabad: Team Pakistan will start its series in the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India today (Friday) facing Netherlands in Hyderabad Deccan.
In the mega event, the green shirts will start their campaign against relatively easy opponents. The Pakistan team is likely to include six batsmen, two all-rounders and three fast bowlers.
The preparations of the Pakistan team for their first match against the Netherlands in Hyderabad Deccan have also been completed. The national team has trained hard and played two warm-up matches to start the event.
