| Netherlands | 2 | 2 | 0 | +1.139 | 4 |

Zimbabwe beat Thailand by 28 runs in the other Group B game on Sunday, so they arrive with momentum. The top three in each group go through to the Super Six. Pakistan's net run rate fell from +1.549 to +0.356 because of how fast the Netherlands chased, and that matters if teams finish level.
