Sri Lanka has been dominant in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 while playing at home. They have won all their matches till now, including the last match against Australia. They defeated the Aussies comfortably and with the loss, Australia are now knocked out of Group B. Pathum Nissanka scored a sensational century and his recent form has been one of the key weapons of Sri Lanka. Matheesha Pathirana is ruled out of the competition and Dilshan Madushanka has replaced him in the squad.
Zimbabwe have won two out of the three matches they played so far. Their last match against Ireland got washed out for rain and it ensured their qualification to the Super Eight. Zimbabwe, under the able leadership of Sikandar Raza have grown into a giant killer and they have showed it once again after 2022 by defeating Australia in this edition. With Brian Bennett and the fast bowlers in form, Raza and co can dream big.
