T20 WC: Pak set Namibia 200-run target

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Sahibzada Farhan smashed a stunning century as Pakistan set a 200-run target for Namibia in their must-win T20 World Cup 2026 game at Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo today. 

If Pakistan win the match, they enter Super Eight, and if they lose, they are eliminated. 

Farhan scored an unbeaten 100 off 58 balls doing the bulk of scoring for Pakistan after they won the toss and opted to bat first. 

Namibia bowled tightly at the start, but Pakistan put their feet on the accelerator post the eighth over and never looked back since.

Namibia, who are yet to win a single game in the tournament so far, would be keen to produce an upset and exit the tournament on a high.

Playing XIs:

Namibia: Louren Steenkamp, Jan Frylinck, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Alexander Volschenk, JJ Smit, Zane Green (wk), Ruben Trumpelmann, Willem Myburgh, Bernard Scholtz, Jack Brassell

Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha (c), Babar Azam, Usman Khan (wk), Khawaja Nafay, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Salman Mirza, Usman Tariq
