\u201cI think it has to be a complete performance. I think we batted well in Power-play, we started really well in the Power-play, and in the middle, we put partnerships on, and then we finished well,\u201d Agha said during the post-match presentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan laid the foundation early with an aggressive start and maintained momentum through the middle overs before finishing strongly, thanks largely to a brilliant century from Sahibzada Farhan. Agha reserved special praise for the opener, highlighting his consistency and impact in recent months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSahibzada has been outstanding. The way he's been batting for us for the last six months, he's just batting really well, and he scored 100 today. I'm very happy for him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan\u2019s dominance extended beyond their batting. Their bowlers ensured Namibia never gained any foothold in the chase, applying relentless pressure with disciplined lines and clever variations. \u201cAnd when it comes to the ball, I think we were lethal, and we were ruthless. We bowled in the right area, whether it's a fast bowler or a spinner. I think it was a complete performance for us,\u201d Agha stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Agha also reflected on the impact of Pakistan\u2019s spin attack, acknowledging the challenges posed by one of their key bowlers and expressing confidence in his ability to deliver in crucial moments ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTrust me, it's tough. He is a tough bowler to face. Whenever I have played him in domestic, I find it very hard because he's someone who's very, very tough to pick, and then when he has a pause. It becomes very, very difficult. But I'm very happy he's playing for us, and I'm very happy for him with the way he's bowling. I really hope he can bowl well in the business end now, the way he's bowling right now, and win us more games,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan relied heavily on their spinners throughout the match, exploiting the Colombo surface effectively while keeping their pace options in reserve. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Agha explained that the team\u2019s spin depth allowed them to control proceedings without overusing their fast bowlers, saying, \u201cI think we have the luxury of spinners. We have all-rounders who can bat and bowl, and then we have a proper match-winner when it comes to spin bowling. So if you have that much of a spin bowling in Sri Lanka, you don't really need to bowl a fast bowler in the middle. And if we need to bowl a fast bowler in the middle, we have the bowlers who can do that as well. But right now, we are fine bowling with the spinners.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI think we have been playing really good cricket. New Zealand have been playing good cricket. So, I'm guessing it will be a good game. And I think the way we are playing right now, if we replicate that kind of performance in the next game, I think we'll be fine,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
