Pakistan overcame a slow start and early loss of an opener to beat the Netherlands by 16 runs in their first one-day international.
 
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first. Only at 3-0 after four overs, it got worse for the visitors at 10-1 in six overs following Vivian Kingma's maiden wicket which claimed Imam-ul-Haq (2) leg before wicket on referral by the Netherlands.
 
Opener Fakhar Zaman led the recovery with 109 runs in 109 balls, including 12 fours and a six, before he was run out.
 
Zaman and captain Babar Azam (74 in 85) shared a 168-run
