Overview:
Sri Lanka are in Group 2 with England, New Zealand, Pakistan or the USA.
Zimbabwe players and fans were ecstatic after the team qualified for the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The ZIM vs IRE match was called off due to rain, giving one point each to both teams, which was enough to take the African nation through to the next round.
Zimbabwe players and fans danced and sang together to celebrate the memorable moment together. Zimbabwe had failed to qualify for the previous edition of the T20 World Cup in 2024, and the players got their acts together to stage a return to the global stage.
Joy at Kandy . Congratulations Zimbabwe we have done 🇿🇼🔥
