T20 World Cup 2026: Match 35, PAK vs NAM Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Pakistan vs Namibia?
MATCH: Pakistan vs Namibia
DATE: 18 February ,Wednesday
TIME:3:00 PM IST
VENUE: Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo
TOURNAMENT: T20 World Cup 2026
Pakistan (PAK) lock horns with Namibia (NAM) in match No. 35 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Wednesday, February 18.
Salman Ali Agha started the campaign with consecutive wins against the Netherlands and the USA. However, in their last game, they suffered a devastating 61-run loss to arch-rivals India. They will have to win their game against Namibia to progress to the Super-Eight stage.
However, if Namibia can beat Pakistan, the USA will make it to the next round. The African nation has shown glimpses of its talent, but the players haven’t clicked as a unit. They have played three games and lost all of them. Gerhard Erasmus and Co. will want to finish their campaign on a high, and an upset of Pakistan could be a shot in the arm for them ahead of their future assignments.
PAK vs NAM Predicted Playing 11s
Pakistan (PAK):
Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Agha (C), Babar Azam, Usman Khan (WK), Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq.
Namibia (NAM):
Louren Steenkamp, Jan Frylinck, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (C), JJ Smit, Zane Green (WK), Ruben Trumpelmann, Dylan Leicher, Willem Myburgh, Bernard Scholtz, Max Heingo.
PAK vs NAM Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Sahibzada Farhan
Sahibzada Farhan scored 120 runs across the first two games for Pakistan, and this included a 41-ball 73 against the USA. However, he was out for a duck in the previous game against India. The right-handed batter will look to bounce back strongly and get his team off to a flying start.
Probable Best Bowler: Gerhard Erasmus
Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus has impressed cricket enthusiasts with his variations in bowling. He can bowl with different actions and has outfoxed batters by bowling well behind the popping crease. In three games, he has bagged six wickets at 9.67. His four-over spell will be crucial for Namibia through the middle overs.
