Pakistan vs Namibia, 2021 T20 World Cup: PAK wins 45 races for NAM, qualifies for finals

Pakistan measured fifty in Babar Azam and rode in a violent power of Mohammad Rizwan to seal their place in the ICC T20 World Cup finals, winning 45 races against Namibia in the Group 12 Super 12 match played in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

After 190, Namibia lost Michael van Lingen to Hasan Ali. At the other end, Shaheen Shah Afridi – who went wicketless – accepted two limits and after a single run by Imad Wasim, Haris Rauf won 10 in his first with Stephan Baard and Craig Williams leading Namibia to 34/1 on the top six.

As the demand rate was rising, Williams gave Mohammad Hafeez a six in the ninth, before a misunderstanding exhausted Baard. Gerhard Erasmus, the captain, came in and hit Shadab Khan for six and four, taking Namibia to 70 after 2-10. He was caught from Wasim’s bowling in the 13th and Williams fell in the 40th the next, David Wiese. and they were left with too many to make lower orders in the end.

As it happened

Earlier, Babar won the draw and decided to join. Ruben Trumplemann and Wiese were previously economists. Rizwan survived an lbw appeal in the fifth review. Jan Frylinck and Ben Shikongo dried up the 7-9 mark, before Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton went on the attack in the 10th, and Babar took four.

Pakistan, from 59 0 10, then changed course. He combined for 12 and 18 in the 11th and 12th playoffs, with Babar reaching 39 of 50 balls. Rizwan moved on, with Trumpelmann hitting a six and a four before Loftie-Eaton hit a second six.

Rizwan and Babar were the first pair to get a five-century partnership in the T20Is, before the latter fell 49 balls in the 70th. Fakhar Zaman came out next. Hafeez, No. 4, hit a 16-yard touchdown run with Rizwan scoring four four-pointers and a four-pointer against JJ Smit when Pakistan sacked 24 of the 20.

In the end, the mountain was too steep to climb to Namibia.
