T20 WC 2026: Australia vs Ireland preview, toss time, live streaming

Australia face Ireland in Match 14 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo today, with the Australians winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The side will be without their regular captain Mitchell Marsh, who has been ruled out of the contest due to injury.

On the other hand, Ireland enters the match with renewed confidence after making significant strides in T20 cricket. Although they lost to Sri Lanka by 20 runs in their previous outing, key performances from Harry Tector (40 runs) and George Dockrell (2 wickets) highlight their potential. Ireland’s resilience, however, will be tested against a much stronger Australia side.

With both teams eager to make a statement, this clash promises to be a fascinating contest. Australia will look to build momentum, while Ireland will aim for a major upset to keep their tournament hopes alive.
