    T20 WC: Tariq’s 4-fer Helps Pakistan Spin Their Way Into Super 8s With 102-run Win Over Namibia

    By IANS News February 18, 2026 • 18:44 PM View: 398
    T20 World Cup: Pakistan’s formidable spin attack proved too much for Namibia as they sealed a dominant 102-run victory and confirmed their place in the Super 8s of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, dismissing Namibia for just 97 in 17.3 overs while defending a daunting 199 at the Sinhalese Sports Club.

    Chasing a steep target, Namibia began positively with Louren Steenkamp showing early intent. He launched Faheem Ashraf for a six down the ground and followed it up with crisp boundaries, helping Namibia reach 40/2 at the end of the powerplay despite losing Jan Frylinck and Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton.

    Steenkamp continued to anchor the innings, striking three fours and a six in his 23 off 22 balls, but Pakistan’s spin trio soon tightened their grip on the contest. Mohammad Nawaz provided the breakthrough immediately after the Power-play, inducing a mistimed slog from Steenkamp that was safely pouched by wicketkeeper Usman Khan.
