"Sahibzada Farhan cracked a brilliant century as Pakistan cruised into the Super Eight at the T20 World Cup with a 102-run win over Namibia. The pressure was on Salman Agha's side, with Sunday's crushing defeat to India meaning they had to win in Colombo to avoid an early exit. And they delivered with Farhan's unbeaten 100 not out the foundation for a solid total of 199 for three."
"The momentum remained with Pakistan when Namibia batted. Once they had broken an opening partnership of 32 between Louren Steenkamp and Jan Frylinck it was plain sailing with wickets falling at regular intervals. Only Steenkamp and Alexander Busing-Volschenk (20) made double figures with Shadab (three for 19) and Usman Tariq (four for 16) keeping Namibia in check. Ultimately, Farhan's partnership of 81 with Shadab, achieved in 6.4 overs, proved decisive."
Pakistan secured Super Eight qualification with a dominant 102-run victory over Namibia, finishing second in Group A behind India. Sahibzada Farhan scored an unbeaten 100, forming a decisive 81-run partnership with Shadab Khan that accelerated Pakistan to 199 for three. Salman Agha contributed 38 and Shadab remained 36 not out after being promoted to number five. Namibia faltered in the chase and were bowled out for 97 in 17.3 overs, with Shadab taking three for 19 and Usman Tariq four for 16. The win eliminated the United States and advanced Pakistan into a Super Eight that includes England, Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
