Pakistan's national cricket team showcased an outstanding performance against Namibia, clinching a decisive 102-run victory in the T20 World Cup. Skipper Salman Agha praised the team's collectively strong showing, highlighting Sahibzada Farhan's maiden century and the spinners' dominance. The victory marks a significant comeback following a heavy defeat by India.

As Pakistan braces for their upcoming Super Eights match against New Zealand on Saturday, Salman expressed optimism, citing the team's recent form and depth in both spin and all-round capabilities as key strengths.
