Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan smashed a brilliant century against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup Super 8s, but it wasn't enough to secure a semi-final spot. Farhan's 100 off 60 balls, featuring nine fours and five sixes, powered Pakistan to their highest-ever T20 World Cup total of 212-8.

Despite the impressive score, Pakistan needed to restrict Sri Lanka to 147 or fewer to advance on net run-rate. Captain Dasun Shanaka nearly pulled off a remarkable chase with an unbeaten 76 off 31 balls, but Sri Lanka fell just short in 15.5 overs. This allowed New Zealand to progress with a net run-rate of +1.390.

Farhan's knock was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing campaign for Pakistan. The 29-year-old now holds the record for most runs in a single T20 World Cup with 383 at an average of 76.60. His aggressive yet elegant batting has been a beacon of hope, though a lack of match awareness in the final overs may have cost valuable runs that could have changed Pakistan's fate.
