T20 WC 2026 Super 8: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka preview, toss time, streaming

New Zealand and Sri Lanka will face off in Match 46 of the Super Eights of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, February 25.

New Zealand’s Super Eight opener against Pakistan was washed out without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain in Colombo. The abandonment meant the Black Caps had to settle for a solitary point. Before that, they had enjoyed a strong group-stage campaign, registering three wins out of four games played.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are coming off a heavy 51-run defeat to England in their first Super Eight clash. Bowled out cheaply in a spin-dominated encounter, the hosts now sit under pressure, with net run rate already taking a hit.
