The Pakistan cricket team have made their way into the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2026. From Group A, both India and Pakistan have qualified for the knockouts. The Men in Green defeated Namibia on Fabruary 18 to book a spot in the next stage and will meet New Zealand, England, and Sri Lanka from February 21 in Sri Lanka. 

The Salman Agha-led team started their campaign with a win against the Netherlands, followed by a victory against the USA. However, they lost their third match against India by 61 runs, which temporarily blocked their qualification for the Super 8. Despite jeopardising their chances, they did showcase some quality cricket against Namibia and beat them by 102 runs. 

They jumped past the USA and qualified for the Super 8. Usman Tariq and Shadab Khan were outstanding against Namibia, claiming four and three wickets each. Pakistan will hope to continue their wonderful performance in the Super 8 stage to qualify for the semi-finals. The top two teams from each group will make it to the next round.

I'm guessing it will be a good game: Sahibzada Farhan

Pakistan's star batter Sahibzada Farhan slammed a century against Namibia on February 18. He scored 100 in 58 balls, including 11 boundaries and three sixes. He spoke about their next encounter against New Zealand and how competitive it might be since they are a tough team to beat. The Kiwis have performed well in the tournament and will surely have an eye on the trophy this time. 

"I think we have been playing really good cricket. New Zealand have been playing good cricket. So, I'm guessing it will be a good game. And I think the way we are playing right now, if we replicate that kind of performance in the next game, I think we'll be fine," said Sahibzada Farhan at the post-match presentation.
