Pakistan’s Biggest T20 World Cup Win Sends Them Into Super Eight; Sahibzada Farhan Hits A Ton

Pakistan booked their place in the Super Eight of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 after crushing Namibia by a massive 102 runs in a must-win Group match on Wednesday. The victory, Pakistan's biggest by runs in T20 World Cup history, came at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo and kept their tournament alive in emphatic fashion.

After winning the toss, Pakistan opted to bat and posted a formidable total of 200, riding on a brilliant unbeaten century from opener Sahibzada Farhan. Farhan smashed 100 off 58 balls, including four sixes and 11 fours, setting the tone early. Captain Salman Ali Agha added stability with a fluent 38, while Shadab Khan finished strongly with an unbeaten 36 during a decisive 81-run fourth-wicket stand.

Pakistan's bowling then completed the job with ruthless efficiency. After Namibia made a steady start, wickets fell in quick succession, with only two batters reaching double figures. Mystery spinner Usman Tariq starred with figures of 4 for 16, while Shadab Khan picked up three wickets as Namibia were bundled out well short of the target.

The win has set up a mouth-watering Super Eight clash, giving fans another chance to witness the sport's biggest rivalry - India vs Pakistan - later in the tournament. With both sides carrying momentum into the next stage, the prospect of another high-voltage India-Pakistan battle has added fresh excitement to the T20 World Cup 2026.
