00:10Welcome along to Match 35 of this magnificent tournament.
00:14We are in Sri Lanka, Colombo, right on the West Coast.
00:18Magnificent part of the world.
00:20Very vibrant population, lots of beaches, and it is Pakistan.
00:26They are coming up against the pride of Namibia in South West Africa.
00:32Pakistanis looking to win and progress.
00:34Namibia looking to have their first win of the tournament.
00:43Had the toss in the middle.
00:45Pakistan have won the toss.
00:47They have elected to bat.
00:49Welcome to the Sinhalese Sports Club ground right here.
00:52Group A in Colombo.
00:55Good afternoon, Harry. Good afternoon, everyone.
00:57Yeah, a very crucial game for Pakistan.
00:58They have to win it today to qualify for Super 8.
01:02For two changes in the Pakistan squad, Salman Mirza comes in for Shaheen Shah Freedy.
01:07And Nafi, he comes in for Ibrar.
01:11So extra batter, extra spinner out.
01:13Pakistan have still five spinners.
01:15Here's the Namibian team looking to have the first win of the tournament.
01:19Two changes for them.
01:20Volsingh and Brassel come in for Laika and Heingau.
01:23The quick power in the middle order.
01:25And they'll be tested by the spin of Pakistan today.
01:30Samahyut is a young kid.
01:32Sabzadha Farhan, 1,000 plus runs.
01:34Averaging just under 26.
01:36Strike lead to 132.
01:39Schmidt will continue.
01:40I mean, he'll start off.
01:42Right, here we go.
01:44A final spot in the Super 8 up for grabs.
01:46Pakistan won the toss.
01:47They elected to bat.
01:49We are on the way here in Colombo.
01:52Just eases across him as was him predicted.
01:54And they get the opening run.
01:59Down!
02:01Nicely driven, slight misfield.
02:02It'll be the opening boundary off the bat of Farhan.
02:08It's nicely timed.
02:10He did well.
02:10Didn't have much room there, Samahyut.
02:12But he just whipped that away through midwagon.
02:17Oh, diving effort just gets away.
02:19Troubleman throws his head back.
02:21And it gets all the way down to the boundary.
02:27Bit of swing outside of Stump.
02:29Take catch.
02:30I think he proposed to relate.
02:32It was a bit high as well.
02:34But that's what you do.
02:35If anything, Stump,
02:36you throw your bat at it all the way.
02:38Not half-hearted.
02:38The way he's playing right now.
02:43That's more out of the middle.
02:45Farhan gets a bit of length to deal with
02:46and whacks it away over through midwagon.
02:49After 4, 31 without loss.
02:54He just slogs that off the inside portion of the bat.
02:57It wasn't elegant, but it was effective.
02:59Four more.
02:59Farhan to 21.
03:02That's a better shot.
03:04Omensy's blade and smokes it away.
03:07Obviously through cover.
03:08And now Pakistan are really starting to roll.
03:13Samah asking for that catch.
03:15And yes, it is.
03:17A wicket of the first ball of the over.
03:21A couple of occasions we saw
03:23he is looking to reach for the ball
03:25rather than moving your foot,
03:27the front foot toward the ball.
03:29He just thrown the bat at it
03:31and got the edge.
03:33And a good breakthrough for Namibia.
03:36Pakistan losing their first wicket
03:37in the sixth over.
03:3914 for Samahoub of 12.
03:4144.
03:44Right, that's the captain out there.
03:46Salman Ali Yaga.
03:50Good timing.
03:52Very good timing.
03:54He's up and running.
03:56The captain.
04:00Good use of the fate.
04:02Now that is the type of batting
04:03you'll want from Pakistan.
04:05He made up his mind
04:08before the baller delivered the ball.
04:10Came out of the crease
04:12at a perfect time.
04:14Ball was released
04:15and he left the crease,
04:16came down really close to the pitch
04:18and he also covered it.
04:25This one should go all the way for six
04:28and it does.
04:30Beautifully taken in the crowd.
04:32Wow.
04:34This is the over
04:35that Pakistan wanted
04:37to release the pressure.
04:39It was building
04:41and this is good batting.
04:43Not just by Salman
04:44the way he started
04:45and now Farhan.
04:46They've got 16 runs
04:48with two balls left.
04:49That run rate is above 8.
04:52So now they can kick on from here.
04:57Googly
04:58and dealt nicely again.
05:01He serves on the farhan
05:03with the second six
05:04off this over.
05:06Three six in this over so far.
05:09Just making the mistake.
05:11Throwing it up
05:12and look at where he's looking to bowl.
05:14In the slot.
05:15The wrong end.
05:16Perfect place to play there.
05:21It's back.
05:22That's top-aged.
05:24And that generally has been
05:25a pattern.
05:27They've been patchy
05:28with shot making
05:30and so it's another top-edge
05:32that's gone
05:32and flown away for four.
05:34On 49
05:36and on 50.
05:39He's been pretty consistent.
05:40Farhan
05:4210th, 15th, 20th, 20th
05:43and second in T20 World Cup.
05:46Job well done.
05:48Job not done though.
05:50Ramiz, he has to kick on here.
05:54Has to propel this inning
05:55somewhere near that
05:58180, 190 mark.
06:00It's a good batting surface.
06:02He's played nicely
06:03but he has to carry on now.
06:09Yeah, safe
06:10and four.
06:11Another top-edge.
06:14Salman Aliaga
06:15seems to be playing that shot
06:16rather nicely off-late.
06:21Big shot down the ground.
06:22That is glorious.
06:25Absolutely nailed it for six.
06:27Terrific blow.
06:29Yeah, great footwork.
06:30Look at that.
06:31The important stroke there, Ramiz,
06:33is that first step
06:35isn't a big step.
06:36So really important
06:37when you're coming down the pitch
06:38that your first step
06:39you don't over-stride.
06:46And gone at mid-off.
06:48He moved across.
06:50Erasmus takes a good catch.
06:52Didn't have the elevation.
06:53The idea was right
06:54because Pakistan needed to
06:56crack big now.
06:58And he had been so good
07:00against Spain.
07:01This time miscued it
07:03and stayed down the throat
07:05of the mid-off fielder.
07:06Bowled it wide.
07:07Cleverly done in the end.
07:10And a good, neat catch
07:11at mid-off.
07:1738 from 23.
07:18You've opened the door
07:19for Namibia.
07:20107 for two.
07:24He can be a strike force.
07:25Very talented, Haja Nafe.
07:28Good against Spain.
07:32That's a brilliant start.
07:34That really is one great shot.
07:40This is smashed through the offside.
07:42This really is good.
07:45Oh, that could be out.
07:48Erasmus is lining it up.
07:49Takes a catch.
07:51Haja Nafe.
07:52Erasmus' seventh wicket
07:54of the tournament.
07:55He's had a wonderful time
07:56with the ball.
07:57It's ugly.
07:58It's a slog.
07:59It's the only way
08:00to describe that.
08:01It's a very good catch.
08:02Backtracking.
08:03Never easy.
08:04Not sure if there's
08:05another field
08:05that may be converging.
08:07Safe catch.
08:08Well done,
08:09look at that to Erasmus.
08:10Haja Nafe.
08:11Well, it was brief.
08:125 for 5.
08:14118 for 3.
08:15We'll have a drink.
08:18Sharab Khan, the new man in.
08:20Fine cricketer.
08:21A wealth of experience.
08:25It's a smash down the ground
08:27for 4.
08:27He's not going to stop himself
08:29in great rhythm now,
08:31Farhan,
08:32into the 60s.
08:37Straight back towards him.
08:39Couldn't get a hand on her.
08:40It's nice.
08:40He struck.
08:414 more to Farhan.
08:42He's holding the innings together.
08:43Moves into the 70s.
08:50Farhan just punched it
08:51straight down the ground
08:52towards the coronary box.
08:54Clears the lot.
08:55Moves to 80.
08:56Fine blow.
08:58He's taking Pakistan forward
09:00on his own here.
09:02None of the others
09:02have struck it as well as he has.
09:05Jeez, that's just
09:07absolute power.
09:14Straight down the ground.
09:15He can save his legs.
09:16He runs,
09:17but he doesn't need to.
09:184 more.
09:18Now the run's
09:19really starting to flow.
09:22Big outside edge.
09:234 more.
09:24Slip just watch it.
09:25Saal,
09:26brass all over his head.
09:27So it's a big end to the over.
09:32Right where he wanted it.
09:336 more.
09:34Farhan into the 90s.
09:36Goes to 93.
09:41Oh,
09:42misfield.
09:434 more.
09:44Wheel starting to fall off
09:45for the Africans.
09:46Mayberg,
09:47he was over it.
09:47Ran through his hands.
09:4997.
09:50And the 50 punch is up.
09:5251 from just 25 rocks.
09:58Short.
09:59Favoured the leg side.
10:00And Shadav Khan said,
10:02thank you.
10:03Another 6 off the over.
10:04Pakistan really accelerating now
10:06at the back end of the innings.
10:08Bahan on 99.
10:11He works it away through the onside.
10:13Immediately throws a hand in the air.
10:15A first hundred for him in T20 Internationals.
10:19His team love it.
10:20Just the second Pakistani to do it
10:22in a World Cup.
10:24And with the pressure on,
10:25with the Super 8 spot on the line.
10:28Bahan delivers in fine style.
10:32Dot knock.
10:37Pumped down the ground.
10:39Fielder watches it sail over his head.
10:41Smashing it into the side screen.
10:43An exclamation at the end from Shadav.
10:49There's the slinger.
10:51And it is sent again.
10:53Shadav Khan joins the party like 6 and 6.
10:55And he's starting to put a hole
10:57in Erasmus' figures.
11:00Tall bottom hand.
11:02You can see the hips come into it.
11:05Just there.
11:06There's a flick.
11:08Body, the energy goes right through it.
11:12Ball that underarm.
11:13He's still hitting you for 6.
11:17Ball!
11:20And they do not.
11:21It's not a wide shot.
11:23They're stuck on 199.
11:25But not to matter.
11:26Farhan, 100.
11:27Redding.
11:27100 not out from 58.
11:29He's the star.
11:30And it's a good total
11:32which will just ease the nerves
11:33of Pakistani supporters.
11:36Namibia will need 200.
11:38The psychological figure
11:41on their mind
11:43to chase
11:43with the spinners
11:44that Pakistan have.
11:45You'd have to say
11:48they battered Namibia
11:50out of it.
11:51More Pakistan.
11:52They opted to bat first.
11:54A very good decision
11:57that was.
11:57Farhan, 100.
11:58Salman Aliaga, 38.
12:00Shadav, 36.
12:01199 for 3.
12:03Well, Babur didn't get a hit.
12:05They changed the batting order
12:06because Farhan was bossing it.
12:08You just needed to give him some help
12:09and that help he did get.
12:23Well, it's Colombo.
12:27Big game.
12:29Pakistan up against Namibia.
12:32Pakistan hoping to get the win
12:33that will secure them a spot
12:36in the Super 8 phase
12:37of the men's T20 World Cup.
12:41Lorenz Dienkamp.
12:43Chennai a couple of days ago
12:44up against the USA.
12:47Fralink, like you said,
12:49experienced player
12:51from Namibia.
12:53Fahim Ashra will take the new ball.
12:55He's bowling his first over
12:56in this T20 World Cup.
13:01Now they need a good launch here.
13:03They need to get after
13:06Fahim straight away.
13:09That's gentle.
13:10That is a nice friendly
13:13full ball that
13:15Lorenz Dienkamp
13:16would have been lucky to punish.
13:20Now then,
13:21it was in the slot
13:22and it has to be hit
13:24and it has been hit.
13:26They're up and running here in Namibia.
13:28Very average delivery
13:29from Fahim.
13:30I would have given the new ball
13:31to Salman Mirza
13:32and the second over
13:33probably to him.
13:34Got 200 on the board.
13:36Just balled seam up deliveries
13:38and what a shot
13:39for Sincap.
13:43Now then,
13:44up in the air.
13:45Man in the deep.
13:47Drops it.
13:47Well, that's a dolly.
13:53Top edge.
13:54Good line.
13:55Good areas.
13:56Try to play
13:56pull shot.
13:57Got the top edge.
13:59Nawaz was a fielder there
14:02and
14:05and a drop.
14:10Lovely timey.
14:11Good hands
14:12from Jan Freilink.
14:13He just let the ball
14:14come under the eyes
14:15and
14:16worked it down
14:17to deep third.
14:18They needed a boundary.
14:19Two done.
14:1915 with that loss.
14:24Clobberd.
14:24Beautiful shot.
14:26Down the ground.
14:30Wow, wonderful hit.
14:33Brilliant batting.
14:34Gets across his stumps.
14:37Lorenz Dinkamp
14:38and just pumps him
14:39leg side.
14:43Lovely, lovely batting because it's not easy when you see the ball drifting away time and time again.
14:50Nine off at 32 with that loss.
14:54Change of ends and a change of fortune.
14:58Wonderful work from Salman Mirza who's into the side today and he cleans up Jan Freilink.
15:05Bit of a relief in Pakistan's camp.
15:08Quick delivery.
15:09There we go.
15:10There we go.
15:10Little cross seam.
15:12And that nipped back.
15:13It's going to nip back because of cross seam.
15:15Seam up will go away.
15:16From the left-hander.
15:18Quick delivery to 135 kilometers an hour.
15:22running to pass for 9
15:23namibia 32 for 1.
15:34Offside.
15:35Offside.
15:38Nicole Lofty-Eaton, he doesn't hang about
15:45Now this is good running
15:48Good throw
15:50Now he will go upstairs for a moment
15:52I thought he beat the throw
15:53But I think it's tighter
15:54Than what we thought
15:57Oh yes, he's given him out
15:59Yes
16:02Wasn't such
16:03Strike running between the wickets
16:05The ball went straight to Salman Aliaga
16:07Who's a great fielder
16:08He's got gorgeous hands
16:10And the stumps were broken
16:12When he was shot at the crease
16:18Unnecessary
16:19Jolt for Namibia
16:22Lofty going after scoring
16:24Just 5, 39 for 2
16:35Now this should be taken
16:36This should be easy
16:38Yes
16:40He just gobbles it
16:41I mean there have been examples of batsmen playing across the line
16:45And getting up
16:48They could have
16:50Hit that one straight over his head
16:53The bowler's head over long off
16:54Or long on
16:55That would have been a better option
16:57Rather than going absolutely against the line
17:01Hard length
17:02Doing a fair bit of damage
17:04Could only get 23
17:05Feast in camp
17:0643 for 3
17:14Right a bit of leg spin here
17:16And been punched for 4
17:19That's a poor start for Sadab
17:25Now they're very confident
17:27Oh yes
17:27That's been given
17:28That's wicket number 4
17:29The batter didn't move
17:31Soft dismissal really
17:33Because it wasn't such a brute of a ball
17:36Just a regular line in length
17:40Clearly
17:41A sound
17:42Big sound
17:44Well taken by the keeper also
17:49Christmas is gone
17:51After scoring 7
17:52Namibia
17:53Down
17:54And a bit out at this edge
17:5649 for 4
17:58Right
18:00JJ Smith is the new batter
18:04Oh good hit
18:05Good hit
18:07Excellent use of the fit
18:08And he did the right thing
18:10By going through the line
18:12Rather than hitting across
18:17Pump down the ground
18:18Fielder comes round
18:19And clears him
18:21Babad Azam
18:22Couldn't stop it
18:23Polschenk with his first 6
18:29Brilliant
18:30Too much turn
18:31Shadab Khan
18:31Gets his second wicket
18:32Nice bit of work
18:34By Usman
18:35Namibia lose
18:36There 5th
18:37Lloyd was a little bit outside
18:39The off stump
18:39Watch those revs
18:40Lot more revs
18:41On the ball
18:43Ball spinning
18:43From right
18:44From his face
18:46Not many times
18:47You see the ball spinning
18:48From that close
18:49To the bat
18:50And the rest was done
18:51By a wicketkeeper
18:52Usman
18:52That is wonderful
18:53Balling
18:54Excellent stumping
18:56And Alexander
18:57Gone for 20
18:58Pakistan
18:59In control
19:0079 for 5
19:04Zane Green
19:04The new man
19:05To the crease
19:05The wicketkeeper
19:06Batchman
19:0629 year old
19:07From Vinduk
19:10Catch
19:12Might fall in a hole
19:13Or it might not
19:14Good catch taken
19:16Shadab takes the catch
19:17He's making runs
19:18He's taking wickets
19:19He's taking catches
19:20And the delay
19:21And the delay
19:21That he breaks through
19:22Beautifully balled
19:24Wide outside
19:24The off stump
19:25He saw
19:26A batter
19:27Just sort of
19:28Coming outside
19:29The off stump
19:29He wanted to grab it
19:30From there
19:31And he balled
19:31Wider
19:32And Shadab
19:33A very
19:34Safe pair of hands
19:39Smith gone for
19:41981 for 6
19:47Missing down
19:48You would imagine
19:49The bowler
19:49Not interested
19:51Again
19:53That's brilliant
19:54That is top shelf
19:56Spin bowling
19:57From Tuddy
19:58Take a bow
19:58Why not
19:59It was a beautiful
20:01Delivery from
20:03Up the finger
20:05Is just
20:06Giving a
20:07Rebs back
20:08Into the right
20:09Hander
20:09And
20:11And he was
