Pakistan kept alive their slim hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Men's T20 World Cup with a comfortable six-wicket win over the Netherlands.
Needing 92 for victory, they won with 37 balls to spare, opener Mohammad Rizwan hitting 49 off 39 balls.
Netherlands posted a turgid 91-9, with Colin Ackermann scoring 27 and leg-spinner Shadab Khan taking 3-22.
Pakistan need to beat South Africa on Thursday and Bangladesh next Sunday and hope results go their way to progress.
The Netherlands are eliminated, with a third successive defeat leaving them bottom of Group 2.
