In a dazzling display of batting prowess, Sahibzada Farhan smashed a debut century, propelling Pakistan to 199 for three in a must-win T20 World Cup encounter against Namibia on Wednesday. Farhan, showcasing aggressive flair, accelerated from 50 to 100 in just 20 balls, ultimately remaining unbeaten on 100 off 58 deliveries.
Batting first, Pakistan showed a more aggressive approach against Namibia, amending their lineup by introducing Khawaja Nafay and excluding pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi. This strategic change followed their heavy defeat to India. Farhan's innings, enriched by 11 boundaries and four sixes, was instrumental alongside contributions from skipper Salman Agha and Shadab Khan.
Despite a conservative start, Pakistan's offense exploded thanks to Farhan and Agha, who struck crucial sixes to amplify the run rate. Although Nafay and Agha were dismissed, Farhan continued his relentless form. Shadab Khan wrapped up the innings with a pair of sixes, bringing Pakistan's total to a formidable finish.
