Sahibzada Farhan smashed his first international T20 century and Usman Tariq disrupted Namibia with a mystery spin as Pakistan secured a Super 8s spot in the T20 World Cup with a 102-run win on Wednesday.
Opening batsman Farhan smashed an unbeaten hundred off 58 balls, which included four sixes and 11 boundaries, and further contributions from captain Salman Ali Agha (38) and Shadab Khan (36 not out) saw Pakistan win the Group A match at 199-3 in Colombo.
Tariq, with his signature pause and bowl action, went 4-16 while Shadab went 3-19. Namibia suffered their fourth successive defeat in the tournament after being bowled out for 97 in 17.3 overs.
