On February 18, 2026, at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Pakistan faced Namibia in a crucial match for a spot in the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8. During this intense game, a unique moment occurred in the powerplay that captured everyone’s attention.
T20 World Cup 2026: Sahibzada Farhan’s Bat Goes Flying Against Namibia
The bat soared through the air, beyond the wicketkeeper, and landed several meters away by the square-leg region. Despite this mishap, Farhan managed to get two runs, with the Namibian fielders momentarily stunned by the flying bat.
The unexpected event was attributed to the high humidity in Colombo, which affected grip. In a show of team support, Shaheen Afridi, who was resting during this match, quickly ran from the dugout with a new pair of high-grip gloves for Farhan before the next delivery.
Here’s the video:
