ICC T20 World Cup 2026: All you need to know about Super 8 stage
4 min read Last Updated : Feb 22 2026 | 11:41 AM IST
Pakistan became the eighth and final team to book a spot in the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 after Salman Agha’s side trounced Namibia by 102 runs in Colombo on Wednesday.
Batting first, Sahibzada Farhan’s unbeaten century propelled Pakistan to 199/3 in 20 overs. In reply, Namibia faltered at 97 runs inside 18 overs to fall well short of the target.
From Group A, Pakistan joined India in progressing to the next round. The biggest shock of the tournament came in Group B, where former champions Australia crashed out after defeats to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
In Group C, West Indies and England secured their places in the Super 8, while South Africa and New Zealand advanced from Group D — widely regarded as the tournament’s ‘group of death’. The Super 8 round will begin on February 21, when New Zealand will take on Pakistan at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
