Sahibzada Farhan has been the most consistent Pakistan batter in T20Is, and he once again proved himself in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The right-handed batter scored a hundred, becoming the second Pakistan player after Ahmed Shehzad to reach the milestone in the global tournament. The former player had accumulated an unbeaten 111 in 2024.
The Men in Green posted 199/3 in the allotted 20 overs, with Farhan posting 100 not out in 58 balls, laced with 11 fours and 4 sixes against Namibia. Shadab Khan added 36 runs to the total. He faced 22 deliveries and smashed 3 sixes and 1 four in his unbeaten knock.
He added 81 runs for the fourth wicket with opener Farhan. Earlier, captain Salman Ali Agha amassed 38 runs off 23 deliveries, with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes.
It is a must-win match for Pakistan as defeat would eliminate them from the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Sahibzada has represented Pakistan in 43 T20Is, scoring 1142 runs at an average of 27.85 and a strike rate of 134.35. He has hit 1 hundred, 9 fifties, 93 fours and 62 sixes.
Pakistan started the campaign with a close win over the Netherlands and then dismantled the USA. However, their winning run was stopped by India, who secured a 61-run victory.
