By the end of first half, the clueless Pakistan were short of two goals as Netherlands were leading 3-1. Then, Dutch team with unmatched scoring prowess, scored the fourth and fifth goals in the second half, sealing a definite win against Pakistan.
The Greenshirts earned a penalty corner in the 10th minute but failed to convert after choosing for an indirect attack. Pakistan's Shakeel Abbasi in the concluding moments threw the ball inside the Dutch goal; however, failed to snatch the win from impregnable Netherlands.
The green shirts had entered the semi-final stage after a lapse of eight years.
In the second semi-final of the event, India will take on the defending champions Australia.
The final of the mega event will be played on December 9.
