PAK vs NAM Live Streaming: When and where to watch Pakistan vs Namibia T20 World Cup 2026 match

Colombo’s Sinhalese Sports Club ground will stage a do-or-die Group A contest on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, when Pakistan meet Namibia in a match that doubles as a qualification shoot-out for the Super Eights. A 3:00 PM IST start will decide whether Babar Azam’s side progress or crash out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.

Pakistan enter the encounter in third place, level on points with the United States but behind on net run-rate after two wins and a 61-run defeat to India. Only victory against the winless Namibians will keep their campaign alive; anything less will send them home. Namibia, anchored at the foot of the table after losses to USA, India and Netherlands, have nothing but pride to play for yet remain capable of springing an upset.

History favours Pakistan: their lone prior T20 International meeting with Namibia came at the 2021 edition, where they prevailed by 45 runs. Gerhard Erasmus’s unit will hope to flip that script and sign off with a statement win.

Viewing details Indian audiences can catch every ball on Star Sports channels with commentary in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Bhojpuri and Haryanvi. Live streaming will be available on the Jio Hotstar app and website.
