Pakistan scored 189 in its fourth match against Namibia in Group 2 of T20 World Cup at Abu Dhabi cricket ground on Tuesday.
Skipper Baber Azam struck 70, while Muhammad Rizwan scored brilliant 79 runs, striking one six and four boundaries. Muhammad Hafeez struck 32.
Pakistan chose to bat first.
Babar notched his 23rd Twenty20 international fifty with a 49-ball 70 while Rizwan finished with a 50-ball 79 not out after Pakistan won the toss and batted on a greenish Sheikh Zayed stadium pitch.
The pair added 113 for the first wicket after Pakistan were slow out of the blocks, scoring just 59 in the first ten overs but ended with a flurry in the next ten, taking 130 runs.
Veteran Mohammad Hafeez scored a brisk 16-ball 32 not out with five boundaries.
Pakistan's total is the second highest in this tournament, behind Afghanistan's 190-4 against Scotland in Sharjah.
Pakistan top Group 1 with three wins in as many games and a victory here will see them become the first team to qualify for the semi-finals.
