AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup 2026: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Group B match 30 between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Stadium on February 16, 2026. It's a virtual do-or-die match for the Aussies because if they lose today then their Super 8 chances will be left to fate. The injury-stricken Australian side is coming after a embarrassing defeat to Zimbabwe and will have a stiff challenge of countering the Sri Lanka spin challenge at their home conditions. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are in a strong position currently after winning their first two matches against Oman and Ireland. However, they are still not safe as they have to face Australia and Zimbabwe in their last two matches and if they lose both the matches, then their fate would also won't be in their own hands.
