Australia will face Oman in their final match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Pallekele International Stadium in Pallekele on Friday, 20th February. As both teams are already eliminated from the tournament, they will look to end their campaign on a positive note. Australia After an embarrassing series defeat against Zimbabwe, Australia faced another humiliating defeat against Sri Lanka by 8 wickets and were eliminated from the tournament. Their back-to-back defeats jolted their dream of qualifying. Slow pitches have troubled Australia’s batters throughout the tournament. In the last match, while batting first, they scored 181 runs in their first innings. Sri Lanka chased it down in 18 overs. Despite scoring 104 runs in 8.2 overs, both openers scored their half-centuries. Their bowlers had yet another disappointing day. They have only one win in their three match. Oman Oman, meanwhile, was already placed in a tough group, and they failed to deliver in the tournament as well. They lost all three matches played so far in the tournament and are currently at the bottom of the points table. Batting has been their main issue. They somehow collapsed in every game they have played so far. Even in the previous outing against, while chasing a huge target of 226 runs, Oman was bowled out for 139 runs. With the ball, Oman have struggled just as much, with most of their bowlers conceding huge runs.
