Sri Lanka will compete in Match 16 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 against Oman on the 12th of February at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. This is a crucial match for Sri Lanka in the Group stage.

Sri Lanka began their tournament with a good victory and have a balanced look in batting and bowling. They have received a decent contribution from the top order batting lineup, and the bowling department is handling the game quite well while defending the target. With the boost of winning, home conditions, and momentum on their side, Sri Lanka will look to extend their winning spree. Oman is entering the game against Sri Lanka following a tough loss in their previous game. Their batting department did not perform well in the last match, and they would now require a better show from the top order to compete strongly.
