Australia will compete against Zimbabwe in Match 19 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on Friday, the 13th of February, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Both teams have won their respective games in the tournament so far.

Australia began their tournament campaign in great fashion, recording a comprehensive win against Ireland by 67 runs. Travis Head led the team in the absence of Mitchell Marsh and did that job confidently. Electing to bat first, Australia scored 182 runs, with Stoinis and Josh Inglis contributing significantly. Then, the bowlers weresound, and Adam Zampa and Nathan Ellis took four wickets each to register a comfortable win. Australia would look to produce a similar sort of performance.

Zimbabwe also impressed in their first match by defeating Oman convincingly. Their bowlers did an excellent job of restricting Oman to a low total, and the batters chased it down easily. On the other hand, Brian Bennett maintained a steady knock, and bowlers like Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava also made key contributions. they
will need another strong effort that to challenge an Australian side.
