PAK Vs NAM Highlights T20 World Cup 2026 Overview
At the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Pakistan batted with clarity after winning the toss. The powerplay brought 47 for 1, steady but watchful. Once settled, Farhan shifted gears with surgical precision. His first fifty came off 37 balls, his second in just 20.
The acceleration phase in the final six overs produced 78 runs, with Shadab Khan’s late surge complementing Farhan’s calculated assault. Pakistan finished 199 for 3, a total built on tempo control rather than blind hitting.
Namibia’s chase never found rhythm. Early wickets disrupted momentum, and Pakistan’s spin quartet applied a mid-innings squeeze. Mohammad Nawaz controlled the middle overs, Shadab Khan struck at key moments with 3 for 19, and Usman Tariq cleaned up with 4 for 16.
Namibia was bowled out for 97 in 17.3 overs. The margin of 102 runs reflected total domination across phases.
