Sahibzada Farhan smashed his first international T20 century and Usman Tariq confused Namibia with his mystery spin as Pakistan secured a Super 8s spot at the T20 World Cup with a 102-run win on Wednesday.

Opening batter Farhan smashed an unbeaten 100 off 58 balls, featuring four sixes and 11 boundaries, while futher contributions from captain Salman Ali Agha (38) and Shadab Khan (36 not out) carried Pakistan to 199-3 in the Group A game in Colombo.

Tariq, who has a distinctive pause-and-bowl action, then grabbed 4-16 and Shadab took 3-19 as Namibia were dismissed for 97 in 17.3 overs, for their fourth-straight loss in the tournament.
