OUT! Jack Brassell into his second wicket and managed to dismiss Saim Ayub. Ayub went for the drive on the 5th stump line and ended up handing the wicketkeeper a catch, which Zane Green holds on to. Salman Ali Agha comes out at No.3.

This is a steady for Pakistan, with both batters playing with composure in the middle. Saim Ayub is lucky to remain in the middle after the wicketkeeper dropped his edge in the third over. Namibia will need to pick wickets before both players come into their own.

Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan will hope to provide Pakistan a solid start and overcome their poor outing against India. Both batters have been in good touch lately, and will need to step-up in a crunch game. Excellent first over from JJ Smit, just 3 runs to start proceedings for Namibia. 

18 Feb, 14:40 (IST)

NAM XI: Louren Steenkamp, Jan Frylinck, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Alexander Volschenk, JJ Smit, Zane Green (wk), Ruben Trumpelmann, Willem Myburgh, Bernard Scholtz, Jack Brassell

Hello, and welcome to our live coverage of Pakistan vs Namibia T20 World Cup 2026 match number 35. Stay tuned for toss and other updates. 

Pakistan National Cricket Team vs Namibia National Cricket Team Live Score: The Match 35 encounter between Pakistan and Namibia at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo serves as a high-stakes "do-or-die" fixture for Pakistan's 2026 T20 World Cup campaign. Following a heavy 61-run defeat to arch-rivals India, Salman Ali Agha’s side sits in third place in Group A, trailing the United States on Net Run Rate. To secure a place in the Super 8s, Pakistan must either win today or hope for a washout; a loss would see them sensationally eliminated in favour of the Americans. Pakistan vs Namibia Live Streaming and Free Telecast, T20 World Cup 2026 Match 35.

The overhead conditions in Colombo are the primary concern for the afternoon start, with local forecasts indicating a 67% chance of thunderstorms and 100% cloud cover. While rain could delay the toss, it acts as a bizarre safety net for the "Men in Green." Under ICC rules, an abandoned match would grant one point to each side, moving Pakistan to five points, enough to mathematically surpass the USA's four-point total and guarantee their progression.

Namibia enters the contest playing for pride, having been officially eliminated after three consecutive losses. Despite their standing, Gerhard Erasmus's squad remains a dangerous "spoiler" capable of exploiting any lingering nerves in the Pakistan camp. On a slow, spin-friendly SSC surface, Namibia will look to their captain’s off-spin and the new-ball threat of Ruben Trumpelmann to challenge a Pakistani batting order that has struggled for consistency throughout the group stage. Colombo Weather and Rain Forecast Live for PAK vs NAM T20 World Cup 2026 Match.
