The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 continues with Australia set to face Zimbabwe in Match 19 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday, February 12. Australia, champions in 2021, opened their campaign in strong fashion by defeating Ireland. Batting first, they posted an imposing 182/6, powered by influential contributions from Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, and Matt Renshaw. Their bowlers then dominated proceedings, dismissing Ireland for 115 in 16.5 overs to secure a convincing and well-rounded victory.

Zimbabwe, led by Sikandar Raza, also enter the contest on the back of a winning start. They defeated Oman at the same venue and will benefit from their familiarity with the playing conditions in Colombo. Confidence within the squad is high following that performance, and they will aim to challenge the Australian side with disciplined execution. Facing a formidable opponent, Zimbabwe will look to maintain their momentum and produce another spirited display in this key group-stage encounter.
