Sri Lanka are set to face Australia at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on February 16 in a high-profile clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The Islanders have enjoyed a dominant start to their campaign, registering comprehensive victories in both matches so far. They began with a 29-run win over Ireland before delivering a commanding 105-run triumph against Oman. With confidence high and momentum on their side, Sri Lanka will aim to continue their impressive run.

Australia, meanwhile, have experienced a mixed tournament. After opening with a win against Ireland, the 2021 T20 World champions were stunned by Zimbabwe in a 23-run defeat, falling short while chasing 170. That unexpected loss has placed them under pressure heading into this crucial fixture. The upcoming contest holds significant importance for both sides, as Sri Lanka look to secure qualification for the Super Eight stage, while Australia fight to keep their campaign alive.
