Preview
In the 46th T20 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Sri Lanka (SL) is set to face New Zealand (NZ). Sri Lanka had a very poor performance in the last match as they had to face a big defeat by 51 runs against England. After getting a target of 147 runs, Sri Lanka were all out after scoring only 95 runs. However, Dasun Shanaka played an innings of 30 runs in 24 balls, while in the bowling department, Dunith Wellage took three wickets for 26 runs in four overs.
On the other hand, New Zealand have been impressive so far in the tournament, although their last match was abandoned due to rain against Pakistan. But for now, New Zealand will need a win in this match to increase their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals. So, they will want to achieve victory at any cost.
