T20 WC 2026: Sri Lanka vs Oman preview, toss time, live streaming
Sri Lanka will be hoping to continue their momentum in the tournament after losing their star player, Wanindu Hasaranga due to injury
In match 16 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosts Sri Lanka are taking on Oman at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele today. Oman skipper Jatinder Singh won the toss for the match and invited Sri Lanka to bat first. Sri Lanka, after their win over Ireland, will look to take one step closer to Super 8 qualification against Oman, who will be searching for their first win of the edition.
Sri Lanka team news
Sri Lanka head into the clash against Oman with a mixed squad situation after suffering a massive injury blow. Star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the remainder of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 with a hamstring injury, forcing the team to bring in Dushan Hemantha as his replacement.
Earlier, fast bowler Eshan Malinga was also ruled out, with Pramod Madushan drafted into the squad. Despite these setbacks, Sri Lanka gained confidence from their opening win over Ireland, where their spin attack and middle order performed well, and captain Dasun Shanaka expects senior batters to anchor the innings.
Oman team news
Oman arrive for the match with a relatively new-look squad following major changes after internal restructuring in recent seasons. The team, led by Jatinder Singh, blends experienced names like Aamir Kaleem and Sufyan Mehmood with emerging players such as Vinayak Shukla and Jiten Ramanandi.
Oman, despite their massive loss against Zimbabwe in the campaign opener, will be hopeful of a quick turnaround and present a tough challenge to an injury-hit Sri Lanka.
