Pakistan vs Namibia, 35th Match, Group A, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Gerhard Erasmus to Shadab Khan, SIX, six more. Low arm and the slingy delivery, but full on middle, Shadab Khan gets forward and low to slogsweep and hits it so well all the way over deep mid-wicket. Consecutive sixes

Gerhard Erasmus to Shadab Khan, SIX, tossed up full and in the slot outside off, Shadab Khan stays back and gets forward to loft straight down the ground, clean clean strike

Gerhard Erasmus to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, 100 for the butcher from Charsadda! He has the right arm up in celebration and he is elated. Sahibzada Farhan becomes just the 2nd Pakistani to get a T20 World Cup 100. Full on middle, Farhan gets forward to drive to long-on and then the celebrations begin. He has used all his muscle and come good on the big day. Top knock

Jack Brassell to Shadab Khan, SIX, now Shadab Khan gets into the act. Short and slower at Shadab, he goes on the back foot and gets inside the line, pulls and the top-edge flies all the way over fine-leg

Jack Brassell to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, Myburgh at backward point dives to his right and the ball goes under his hands. That should've been stopped. A short of length delivery outside off, cut hard and just one there, gives away four. Sahibzada Farhan just a hit away now from a 100

Jack Brassell to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, Sahibzada Farhan on fire. He shuffles across and gets inside the line, good length on leg-stump, heaved away to the fine-leg fence. Into the crowd. On to the 90s. Was a cutter

Smit to Shadab Khan, FOUR, short of length and angling away from the right-hander outside off, width, Shadab Khan slashes as he is already there well outside off, the thick outside-edge flies over short third man. Big over for Pakistan

Smit to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, can't bowl half-volleyys at this stage. Full outside off, Sahibzada Farhan hangs back and drills it straight down the ground, no chance for both long-off and long-on

Smit to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, this fella is a butcher of a cricket ball. So much power in his forearms. A short of length delivery outside off, Sahibzada Farhan leans back and flat-bats it hard and all the way over long-off, sliced across it still goes all the way

Bernard Scholtz to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, just over the outstretched left hand on the leap of Bernard Scholtz. Hit so hard. It sped past the bowler. Full on off, Sahibzada Farhan gets forward and hammers that in the air, beats long-off to his right, who is a bit wide

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, again Sahibzada Farhan targetting the off-side. It's short of length and angling away from the right-hander outside off, Farhan shuffles across and cuts wide of cover and mid-off, didn't time it as well as he would've liked to, but in the gap. Ruben Trumpelmann closes his eyes in disappointment

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, length delivery on off, Sahibzada Farhan clears his front leg and hammers it over the head of Shadab Khan who ducks and well wide of mid-off. It was the slower-ball off-cutter and it didn't work

Gerhard Erasmus to Khawaja Nafay, out Caught&Bowled!! Gerhard Erasmus strikes. It's on a length outside off, Khawaja Nafay gets low to swipe, loses his bottom-hand and there's no timing on that, simple catch as Erasmus backtracks to take it with two hands. Time for drinks as well. Nafay looks at his grip and gloves as he walks off. Khawaja Nafay c and b Gerhard Erasmus 5(5) [4s-1]

Jack Brassell to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, thwacked for four. A short of length delivery outside off, Sahibzada Farhan shuffles across and then flat-bats it so hard and wide of cover

Jack Brassell to Khawaja Nafay, FOUR, Khawaja Nafay off the mark in in fine fashion. A rising short of length delivery outside off, Nafay goes on the back foot and is on his tiptoes as he cuts well wide of backward point, to his right, races away, got on top of the bounce well

Jack Brassell to Salman Agha, out Caught by Gerhard Erasmus!! Straight to mid-off. Salman Agha can't believe he has found the man and stays there in disappointment. He is cursing himself as he walks back. Jack Brassell follows Agha well outside off, fullish, Agha can't get under this loft, simple catch to mid-off. Salman Agha c Gerhard Erasmus b Jack Brassell 38(23) [4s-3 6s-2]

Bernard Scholtz to Salman Agha, SIX, more good batting. Salman Agha gives the charge and then lofts straight down the ground, near the sightscreen

Bernard Scholtz to Salman Agha, FOUR, the top-edge and four more. Salman Agha shuffles across and gets under this length delivery, he wanted to sweep and was early into the shot

Bernard Scholtz to Sahibzada Farhan, 1 run, 50 for Sahibzada Farhan. Flat length delivery on middle and leg, he goes on the back foot and tucks to deep mid-wicket

Smit to Salman Agha, 1 run, full outside off, Salman Agha gets forward to drive to long-off

Smit to Salman Agha, FOUR, a slower-ball on a length on middle, Salman Agha looks to swipe to leg, the top-edge is found and clears Zane Green and runs away, one bounce over the ropes

Willem Myburgh to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, six more. It's the tossed up googly outside off, doesn't turn in, too full, Sahibzada Farhan again goes low, again the slogsweep and this one flies flat over deep mid-wicket, hit that too hard

Willem Myburgh to Sahibzada Farhan, SIX, tossed up full on middle, Sahibzada Farhan gets low and slogsweeps all the way over deep mid-wicket, taken in the crowd. That's a big hit

Willem Myburgh to Salman Agha, SIX, Salman Agha comes down the track and even though he is not to the pitch of the ball, lofts and clears long-on. The ball sails over the fielder

Willem Myburgh to Salman Agha, 1 run, 88.8ks floated up around off, Agha sits down and sweeps backward of square leg

Jack Brassell to Salman Agha, FOUR, lovely shot! Just a hint of width and Agha takes advantage. 133.2ks back of a length outside off, Agha rides the bounce and punches it square on the off-side

Jack Brassell to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Zane Green!! Brassell strikes! Finally an outside edge that is close and one that Zane Green hangs on. But this is a soft dismissal. Very full delivery outside off, definitely a wide if Ayub had let go, but instead he bends down and reaches to squeeze it out, gets an outside edge and the bat then thuds into the ground. Two sounds but umpire Chris Gaffaney got the decision spot on. Namibia have broken this opening stand inside the powerplay. Saim Ayub c Zane Green b Jack Brassell 14(12) [4s-2]

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, that's middled. 134ks angles it across and offers width, Farhan with laden feet flays it to the off-side. He hit that in the air but right in the gap, and doesn't bother to run

Ruben Trumpelmann to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, not quite convincing but Farhan will take that. Back of a length delivery, he gets his front leg out of the way and swings across the line, drags it past mid-wicket and the ball races away

Jack Brassell to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, smashed! He's nailed this alright. Brassell was a bit predictable there. Hit the hard length and Farhan was waiting for that, he stays back and pulls it over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the ropes

Jack Brassell to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, another edge that races past Zane Green. This time he had no chance. Back of a length and outside off, Farhan throws the kitchen sink and the outside edge flies over the vacant slip cordon

Ruben Trumpelmann to Saim Ayub, FOUR, dropped! Tough chance but with the gloves on you should be taking those. There's no slip in place. Ayub saw the width and threw his bat on the slash, the outside edge flies to the left of Green and he dives across, gets it off the fingertips and the ball runs away. He was a bit late to react as well and hence could only tip it away

Ruben Trumpelmann to Saim Ayub, FOUR, first boundary for Ayub and that should calm the nerves. Back of a length delivery, Ayub is one-leg as he short-arm jabs it through mid-wicket. Calypso style shot and the ball races away

Gerhard Erasmus to Sahibzada Farhan, FOUR, he drifts it across from round the wicket - overpitched outside off and Farhan does not miss out, drills the drive wide of cover and the fielder dives to his right, lets it race past him. Should have done better..
