This concludes our coverage of this game. Goodbye!

Pakistan finish group 1 at number five with this being their solitary win from five matches and Netherlands, the tournament debutants, end at the bottom.

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana: "We needed a win and credit goes to the whole team for how they turned up today. Ayesha Zafar is a senior player and has been playing for Pakistan for a while. She knows how to play responsibly, which she did today. We needed Gull Feroza to bat the way she did. We need to be better in the batting. Hopefully, we will improve it after we have discussions when we go back."

Netherlands captain Babette de Leede: "I think our bowlers were excellent today. To be able to restrict Pakistan to this score on this ground, I think it was a really good effort from us. Unfortunately, we could not quite get there after a good start which is a bit frustrating. Games at this level are so valuable for us and hopefully this is just a beginning. We are not professional cricketers so it was incredible and special to be here and play the way we have played."

Gull Feroza is the player of the match for her unbeaten 63 off 52. She says: "This was an important knock for the team and myself. I just played my natural game as the pitch was a bit tricky at the start. The plan was to rotate the strike - because staying in until the end was important - and punish the bad balls. Winning this match was very important for us as we wanted to end our campaign on a positive note. Thanks to all the fans who have turned out throughout this tournament and supported us."

Heartbreak for Netherlands who had earmarked this match to make the history. But they fall 37 runs short of what was a pretty achievable target. They started the run chase well. But Pakistan were brought back into the contest by Ayesha Zafar who took three wickets for 13 runs - her best figures in the format - before Fatima Sana closed out the win with a three-wicket over.

Ayesha Zafar to de Leede, OUT, That's unfortunate for the Dutch! She came down the pitch and turned a tossed up ball into a full toss. She had been struggling to connect the ball with her bat but gets it from the middle of her bat this time, but ends up hitting the non-striker. Ayesha collects the ball after it ricochets of Zwilling and throws it to the keeper. Zwilling is almost in the middle of the wicket when Muneeba takes of the bails at the non-striker's end.
