PAK vs NAM Match Highlights T20 World Cup 2026— Sahibzada Farhan smashed a blazing unbeaten century to power Pakistan to a dominant 102-run win over Namibia in Colombo, sealing their spot in the T20 World Cup Super 8s.
PAK vs NAM MATCH HIGHLIGHTS T20 World Cup 2026 Updates: Pakistan delivered a dominant all-round performance to crush Namibia by 103 runs in T20 World Cup 2026, with their spinners, Usman Tariq (4/16) and Shadab Khan (3/19), playing a decisive role after a commanding batting display set up a daunting 199-run target. The foundation of the victory was laid by Sahibzada Farhan, who scored a superb century.
He first stitched a solid half-century partnership with skipper Salman Agha, before Shadab Khan provided further impetus with another fifty-run stand following his promotion up the order. The late surge powered Pakistan to a formidable total that always looked beyond Namibia’s reach.
Namibia began the chase on a steady note against the seamers, but the complexion of the game changed completely once Pakistan’s spinners were introduced. The surface offered significantly more turn for Pakistan, nearly double of what Namibia’s bowlers extracted earlier, and the middle overs turned into a collapse.
Tariq was the chief destroyer, finishing with a four-wicket haul that dismantled the middle and lower order. Shadab Khan chipped in with three crucial strikes, bouncing back strongly after his previous outing.
