However, Pakistan’s performance on the field was very impressive. The team defeated Namibia by a huge margin of 102 runs. The biggest hero of this victory was Sahibzada Farhan, who played a historic inning by scoring unbeaten 100 runs in 58 balls. He has become only the second batsman for Pakistan to score a century in the T20 World Cup. Thanks to his brilliant innings, Pakistan scored a strong score.
Farhan initially formed a useful partnership with Sam Ayub and then took over the innings with captain Salman Ali Aga. In the end, by adding fast runs with Shadab Khan, he put the team in a strong position. Usman Tariq performed brilliantly in bowling and took four wickets and bundled out the entire Namibian team for 97 runs.
With this victory, Pakistan has confirmed its place in the Super-8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Now in Super-8, Pakistan will have to face strong teams like New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka. The second group includes India, South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe.
New Zealand vs Pakistan on 21 February
Pakistan’s first Super-8 match will be played against New Zealand on 21 February. After this the team will face England on 24 February and Sri Lanka on 28 February. Although the team has made a place in the Super-8 by performing strongly on the field, but the debate between the captain and the coach has raised questions on the atmosphere of the team. It will be interesting to see in the upcoming matches how Pakistan leaves this controversy behind and maintains its performance.
