The already-eliminated Namibia could knock out Pakistan as the sides meet on Wednesday in a Group A encounter. This match in Colombo between the fifth-placed Eagles and the third-placed ‘Men in Green’ comes with our prediction of Namibia total under 140.5.
Pakistan have four points in this tournament (W2, L1) and need a win to move back into the Super 8 spots. Namibia lost all three of their matches in the tournament and are already out of reckoning for the Super 8 qualification.
A 61-run defeat to arch rivals India on Sunday didn’t help Pakistan on or off the field, as they dropped below the USA in the points tally. Even their first game of the tournament was a nervy three-wicket win over the Netherlands, so they are still to find their momentum.
Batters are yet to fire for Pakistan, with only Sahibzada Farhan (120 runs, SR 157.89) aggregating 100+ runs. The bowlers are doing no better, with Saim Ayub (five wickets) being their highest wicket-taker.
Namibia are knocked out of the Super 8 race after a 31-run defeat to the USA on Sunday. That was preceded by a 93-run loss to India and a seven-wicket defeat against the Netherlands.
Among the Namibian players, Louren Steenkamp (93 runs, SR 143.07) and Gerhard Erasmus (six wickets, ER 7.25) have been their best.

Our Pakistan vs Namibia Prediction
The heavy loss to India on Sunday wasn’t just a psychological blow for Pakistan. The ‘Green Shirts’ have now fallen behind the USA in the points tally, and that means a loss here is enough to put them out of the tournament. Namibia aren’t exactly in the best of their form, losing all three of their matches comprehensively. Even their only game against Pakistan, back in the 2021 World Cup, ended in a defeat.
Pakistan may look to limit Namibia, and our Pakistan vs Namibia prediction is Namibia total under 140.5.
