Sri Lanka will take on Zimbabwe in match 38 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with both teams aiming to finish the group stage unbeaten and secure the top spot. Having already qualified for the Super 8, the contest now carries added importance in terms of momentum and standings.
Sri Lanka enter the clash on the back of convincing wins over Oman, Ireland and Australia. Pathum Nissanka’s return to form and Kusal Mendis’ consistency have strengthened the batting unit, while skipper Dasun Shanaka is expected to retain a settled playing 11. The bowling attack, led by Dushmantha Chameera and supported by spinners Maheesh Theekshana and Dushan Hemantha, has been effective in home conditions.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, arrive with confidence after a memorable win against Australia. Captain Sikandar Raza will bank on Brian Bennett’s strong form and a balanced batting line-up, while Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava lead a disciplined bowling unit capable of testing Sri Lanka.
But how can fans across the globe witness the marquee ICC tournament action live without visiting the stadium? Take a look.
