T20 WC: ‘Sometimes Cricket Can Be A Cruel Game,’ Says Netherlands Captain Edwards After Team’s Close Loss To Pakistan
T20 World Cup: Pakistan opened their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a tense three-wicket win over the Netherlands at the Sinhalese Sports Club, but the Dutch captain Scott Edwards felt his side were left to rue a slightly below-par total despite pushing the favourites deep into the contest and admitted that cricket was a ‘cruel’ sport.
Reflecting on the defeat, Edwards admitted the Netherlands were short of the score they had targeted after being bowled out for 147 in 19.5 overs. “We probably felt 160 probably was going to give us a fair chance. So we were a little bit under and we had to bowl well to get ourselves in there,” he said after the game.
Asked to bat first in the tournament opener, the Netherlands made a brisk start but lost wickets at regular intervals as Pakistan’s spinners tightened their grip through the middle overs. Despite Edwards top-scoring with 37, the innings never quite gained the momentum needed to push past a defendable total.
