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

Both Australia and Oman have been eliminated and will look to finish their campaign on a high

Cricket Australia to assess failures after poor T20 World Cup 2026 showing

Former champions Australia are set to conduct a "forensic review" of their disappointing T20 World Cup campaign after the injury-ravaged team crashed out in the group stage of the ongoing event being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The 2021 champions exited after losing to Sri Lanka and minnows Zimbabwe. They still have one match remaining against Oman in Pallekele on Friday, but that would be inconsequential. Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka have progressed to the Super Eights as Australia failed to get past the group stage for the first time since 2009. Selector Tony Dodemaide said a full review of the performance would be done once the players are back home. "It's really disappointing the way the tournament has rolled out," Dodemaide was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. "But we will need some time, and take some time, once we finish our last commitment it's important that we finish strongly on Friday against Oman then we'll get back and analyse it fully." The team was without its

Nathan Ellis relishes pressure-free approach in T20 World Cup opener

Nathan Ellis, whose well-disguised first-ball slower delivery bamboozled Ireland opener Ross Adair in their T20 World Cup opener here Wednesday, said he "doesn't want to feel any pressure" about not bowling a particular delivery just because he is starting his spell. In the absence of men like Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, Ellis stepped up as the leader of the Australian pace attack and returned excellent figures of 4/12, including bowling that beautiful slower ball from the back of his hand that crashed into Adair's stumps. At the post-match press conference, Ellis was asked to talk through the decision and the confidence to bowl that delivery first up. "Yeah, something that I've really tried to challenge myself on a little bit is trying to bowl at first ball. I mix it up, I bowl at first ball some games, some games I don't, but I want to be able to pretty much bowl anything, any ball that I have, first ball of a game," Ellis said. "I use the Big Bash a lot to ..

T20 WC: Injury blow for Australia as Marsh misses opener, Smith in

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh was on Wednesday forced out of his team's opening T20 World Cup match against Ireland here owing to a groin injury, prompting the inclusion of veteran batter Steve Smith as cover. Travis Head is leading the side in Marsh's absence against Ireland and Matt Renshaw has been pencilled in for his maiden World Cup appearance. The 29-year-old Renshaw made his T20 international debut last month against Pakistan in Lahore. "Mitchell Marsh will miss the opening match of the ICC men's T20 World Cup after sustaining a direct blow to the groin during training earlier this week. He is experiencing ongoing pain and discomfort which is restricting his movement," a Cricket Australia statement said. "Scans have confirmed internal testicular bleeding, and he will require a period of rest and rehabilitation. His return to play will be guided by symptom resolution and medical advice," it further stated. Smith, who hasn't played a T20I since February last year but has b
