Zimbabwe have advanced to the Super Eight stage of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 after their Group D match against Ireland was abandoned due to persistent rain at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Continuous downpours left the outfield waterlogged, and the fixture was called off before the toss could take place. The washout confirmed Zimbabwe’s progression to the next round while ending the Super Eight hopes of both Australia and Ireland. Despite having one remaining group match against Oman, Australia are now out of contention for a place in the next stage. Ireland were also eliminated following the abandoned fixture, bringing their campaign to a premature end.
