New Zealand will face the co-hosts Sri Lanka in an important Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The game is scheduled for February 25 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
This match is key for New Zealand’s chances of reaching the semifinals, especially after their first Super 8 game against Pakistan was canceled due to rain. They will be aiming to secure two points from this match.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back after a disappointing defeat to England. Despite limiting England to just 146 runs, they were unable to reach the target and lost by 51 runs. A victory against New Zealand is essential for Sri Lanka.
