The third ODI also went right down to the wire as Netherlands gave Pakistan a major scare before losing the low-scoring thriller by 9 runs.
Shadab Khan unimpressed as fan steals energy drink bottles:
An amusing incident was witnessed during . Shadab Khan was walking near the boundary hoardings when one Pakistani fan from the crowd walked up to him. Shadab might have thought that the fan walked up to him for a photograph or autograph but the latter had other ideas. As Shadab was about to walk past the fan, the latter quickly took away two energy drink bottles from the crate.
A surprised Shadab was heard saying: “Ek hi pakad na (Roughly translated to – Just take one)”, but the fan did not pay any heed and walked away with both the bottles while the crowd cheered him on. Shadab’s teammate Haris Rauf was standing there too and he was not impressed with the fan’s act either.
Here is a clip of the incident:
