ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Points table, most runs, most wickets after PAK vs NAM Match 35
Sahibzada Farhan’s unbeaten 100 and Usman Tariq’s four-wicket haul powered Pakistan to a commanding 102-run victory over Namibia in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 clash
Pakistan delivered a dominant display against Namibia in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, posting 199/3 after being put in to bat. Sahibzada Farhan starred with an unbeaten century, blending composure with controlled aggression, while Salman Agha and Shadab Khan added brisk contributions to keep the scoring rate high and build a formidable total.
Early momentum came from Saim Ayub’s attacking cameo, but the defining phase was Sahibzada Farhan and Salman Agha’s partnership, which shifted pressure firmly onto the bowlers. Even when quick wickets fell, Pakistan maintained authority, and Shadab’s late surge ensured a daunting target as boundaries flowed freely in the closing overs.
Namibia’s chase never gained traction as wickets fell regularly despite starts from Louren Steenkamp and Alexander Volschenk. Usman Tariq’s incisive spell, supported by Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz, dismantled the lineup. The 102-run victory highlighted Pakistan’s superiority in both execution and depth, underlining their strong momentum in the tournament.
