Pakistan are set to face Namibia in Match 35 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Wednesday, February 18. Led by Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan opened their campaign with successive victories over the Netherlands and the USA before stumbling to a crushing 61-run defeat against India in their previous outing. That setback has left them in a must-win situation, as only a victory in this fixture will guarantee their passage into the Super Eight stage and keep their qualification hopes firmly in their own hands.

Namibia, meanwhile, approach the contest with pride rather than pressure, having endured three defeats in as many matches so far. Skipper Gerhard Erasmus will be eager for his side to deliver a complete performance after showing flashes of promise without sustaining momentum collectively. An upset victory over Pakistan would not only halt their losing run but also allow the USA to sneak into the next round, adding extra intrigue to the clash. Finishing on a strong note would provide confidence and belief for Namibia heading into future international assignments ahead.
