Colombo (Web Desk): Pakistan opted to bat first after winning the toss against Namibia in their final group-stage fixture at the SSC Cricket Ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Wednesday.
The match carries great importance for Pakistan, who are looking to recover from a series-deciding defeat to India. A win in this contest will confirm their place in the Super Eight stage.
Pakistan started their T20 World Cup journey in impressive fashion with victories over the Netherlands and the United States (US), but their progress was slowed by the loss to India.
Namibia, meanwhile, are playing for pride as they aim to wrap up their T20 World Cup campaign on a positive note.
The side has endured successive defeats against the Netherlands, the US, and India, and will be determined to deliver a better performance in their final outing.
In past, the two teams have met only once in T20 Internationals, and Pakistan came out on top in that encounter.

Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Agha (c), Babar Azam, Usman Khan (wk), Khawaja Nafay, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Salman Mirza and Usman Tariq.
