PAK vs NAM, Match 35, Cricket Tips: Only one spot is up for grabs in the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2026. That will be filled after match no. 35. This game will be played between Pakistan and Namibia. It will kick off at 3 PM IST on Wednesday at Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo.
Pakistan suffered a heavy defeat in the previous game against India, which totally hurt their confidence. Hence, Salman Agha and his men need to regroup themselves and come out hard. But the pressure will be on, because if they lose, they will not qualify, or a defeat will end their tournament. That is where Namibia can be a tricky opponent, because they have nothing to lose.

PAK vs NAM: Ground Pitch Report
Sinhalese Sports Club has produced a good T20I wicket. The highest score of this edition has been recorded at this venue only. But there is something in it for the bowlers as well. The wicket is expected to be slower with time, and spinners will be more effective. The toss will be important because of the prediction of rain.
