Preview

In the 6th T20 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Sri Lanka (SL) is set to face Ireland (IRE). Sri Lanka’s recent form has been underwhelming, having lost both the ODI and T20 series against England at home. However, their overall record in T20 World Cups has been strong over the years. Under the leadership of Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka will be aiming to rediscover that consistency and deliver a stronger performance on the big stage.

On the other hand, Ireland has not enjoyed much success in previous T20 World Cup campaigns. But have often proven to be a competitive side, capable of upsetting top teams in crucial matches. Led by Paul Stirling, Ireland will once again look to challenge a higher-ranked opponent and cause an upset.
