Stephan Myburgh, the Netherlands' third-highest run-scorer in T20Is, has retired from international cricket to spend more time with his family. The 38-year-old, who made headlines by hitting a 17-ball 50 at the 2014 T20 World Cup, will however keep himself available for club cricket.

The T20 World Cup 2022 has witnessed an impressive performance from minnows in the Super 12 stage but none was as shocking as the Netherlands beating South Africa by 13 runs. Brandon Glover was the highest wicket-taker for the Netherlands taking three wickets while Fred Klaasen dismissed a couple.

Pakistan have finally opened their account at the T20 World Cup with a six-wicket win against the Netherlands at Perth Stadium. The Men in Green restricted the Dutch side to 91/9 after the latter opted to bat before a risk-free batting display, led by Muhammad Rizwan, saw them home in 13.5 overs.

Despite plenty of equipment for protection, batters sometimes get down on the pitch if they fail to tackle against steep bouncers. However, there won't be many as nasty blows as Bas de Leede endured when Haris Rauf’s sharp bounce forced him to walk off the ground after the ball cut his face.
