Hosts Sri Lanka will take on New Zealand in a do-or-die Super 8 clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Wednesday, February 25, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
The Dasun Shanaka-led side come into the match on the back of a heavy 51-run loss to England at Pallekele. In a batting collapse while chasing 147, the hosts were bowled out in just 16.4 overs for 95 runs.
In Group 2, Sri Lanka are placed at the bottom with zero points and a -2.550 NRR. But all is not lost, as they are still in contention for a semifinal spot. If the hosts win both their remaining matches, and with better margins, they can still advance.
On the other hand, New Zealand are currently second in the group with 1 point, as their clash against Pakistan was abandoned due to rain.
The path is a little easier for the Kiwis, who can secure 5 points in total and advance to the last four stage if they win their remaining matches, regardless of other results.
