T20 World Cup 2026: February 12 matches
Sri Lanka vs Oman (Pallekele)
In Match 16 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Sri Lanka will take on Oman at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. After a win against Ireland, Sri Lanka aims to move closer to Super 8 qualification, while Oman is still looking for their first win of the tournament. Sri Lanka faces injury setbacks with key players Wanindu Hasaranga and Eshan Malinga ruled out.
Dushan Hemantha and Pramod Madushan have been called up as replacements. Despite these challenges, Sri Lanka is confident after their opening win, with a strong spin attack and middle order. Oman, led by Jatinder Singh, seeks to bounce back from a heavy loss to Zimbabwe.
Nepal vs Italy (Mumbai)
In Match 17 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Nepal will face Italy at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. After a narrow loss to England by four runs, Nepal aims for their first win of the tournament. Despite the defeat, they impressed with a strong chase, scoring 180/6, thanks to key contributions from Rohit Paudel, Dipendra Singh Airee, and Lokesh Bam.
Nepal's bowlers will seek better control after conceding 184 runs. Italy, on the other hand, suffered a heavy defeat to Scotland, losing by 73 runs after being bowled out for 134. Captain Wayne Madsen's injury added to their struggles, but they will look for more stability and partnerships against Nepal.
India vs Namibia (New Delhi)
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 intensifies as India (IND) takes on Namibia (NAM) in Match 18 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday, February 12. India enters the match full of confidence after a thrilling victory over the USA in their opening Group A match, despite early setbacks. They currently sit atop the points table.
Namibia, led by Gerhard Erasmus, had a tough start with a loss to the Netherlands but will have the advantage of familiarity with the New Delhi conditions. To challenge India, Namibia must deliver their best performance.
India’s squad has received a boost with Washington Sundar’s arrival, but concerns remain over Abhishek Sharma’s health, with a final decision on his availability pending. Namibia may also bring in Ben Shikongo for the injured Max Heingo.
