T20WC 2026 PAK vs NAM Playing 11: Salman Agha-led Pakistan will square off against Gerhard Erasmus-led Namibia in the 35th match of the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on February 18 at Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo.
Pakistan secured two wins and a defeat in the group stage games of the T20 World Cup campaign. They secured wins against the USA and Netherlands while suffering a mammoth 61-run defeat against India.
The men in green will be needing a win to qualify for the Super 8s. Meanwhile, Namibia will be aiming for a win to end their campaign on a positive note.
If Namibia wins the game, the USA will be automatically qualified based on the better Net run rate in the T20 World Cup 2026 points table.
Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat. Speaking at the toss, Salman Agha said, “We are going to bat first. We have played two games here. It is a good pitch. We just want to score above par and put them under pressure with the scoreboard pressure.”
“Not really, we have been here like previously as well. And when you come to the World Cup like this, you have fixtures like that. You pretty much have to win every single game, and we are ready for the game,” added Salman.
“Yeah, yeah, the batting has just been a concern for us. We need to bat well. We have batted well against the USA. We need to do a similar kind of performance today as well,” added the Pakistan captain.
Speaking on today’s Pakistan Cricket Team players list, “We’ve got two changes. Salman and Nafay are playing. Shaheen and Abrar are missing out,” concluded Salman Agha.
