Pakistan beat Namibia by 45 runs in their fourth match of the T20 World Cup on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi. Batting first, Pakistan scored 189 runs with a superb batting show from Mohammad Rizwan (79 not out) and Babar Azam (70). The duo forged a 113-run opening stand that set the tone for the Group 2 table-toppers. Namibia too had something to cheer about during the Pakistani innings with wicketkeeper-batter Zane Green taking an excellent catch to dismiss Fakhar Zaman off Jan Frylinck's delivery. Frylinck bowled a length ball that found the edge of Zaman's bat. Green dived to his left side and took an acrobatic one-handed catch to dismiss the Pakistani left-hander.
