Pakistan sail into the Super 8 after decimating Namibia
Pakistan sealed their place in the Super 8s with a commanding 102-run victory over Namibia in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup clash on Wednesday in Colombo, making a huge comeback from a staggering defeat against India in their last game. Deciding to bat, Pakistan piled up a massive total of 199/3 in 20 overs, powered by a blazing unbeaten century from Sahibzada Farhan.
The explosive batter led Pakistan's scoring, finishing on 100 unbeaten from 58 deliveries. Namibia’s bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs, particularly in the latter half of the innings as Pakistan moved past the 190 mark. Salman Agha and Shadab Khan also played useful knocks, scoring 38 and 36*, respectively.
Chasing the target, Namibia lost the momentum early on after losing wickets at regular intervals. Quick wickets prevented them from giving a fight to Pakistan. Usman Tariq was the standout performer with the ball, delivering a match-winning spell of 4 for 16. Namibia, meanwhile, were bowled out for 97.
