Australia Eliminated From T20 World Cup After Losing To Sri Lanka And Zimbabwe

Australia’s campaign in the T20 World Cup 2026 has ended as defeats against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have knocked the Kangaroos out of the Super Eight stage. The 2021 champions’ chances of reaching the Super Eight stage depended on Zimbabwe losing its remaining matches. However, the scheduled match between Ireland and Zimbabwe in Pallekele was abandoned due to rain, with both teams awarded one point each. This allowed Zimbabwe to advance to the Super Eight stage with five points.
