Pakistan will play the Netherlands on Sunday in a must-win game of the T20 World Cup in Perth.

The Men in Green lost their games against India and Zimbabwe to start the mega-event.

There might be a change in the playing XI as left-handed batter Fakhar Zaman may return in place of out-of-form batter, Haider Ali.

The 32-year-old Fakhar has been recovering from the knee injury he sustained during the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates in early September.

Young Haider has scored just two runs in the tournament so far. Overall in 12 matches, he scored just 93 runs at an average of 9.30 this year.

Pakistan’s likely XI: Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Haider Ali/ Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf.
