Babar Azam's Green Army successfully defended their score of 286 runs by taking advantage of the stadium's small boundaries to dismiss "The Flying Dutchmen" for 205 runs in 41 overs.
Bas de Leede of the Netherlands (4/62) halted Pakistan's hitters with a strong spell on a slightly sticky wicket.
De Leede later made a valiant 67 off 68 balls when he came back, but Pakistan's bowlers, headed by Hasan Ali and Harris Rauf, who each claimed five wickets, thwarted the Dutch assault.
