🏏 ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Zim vs Ireland 32nd match 🏏 - Page 7

Rain wins in Pallekele and Zimbabwe become the 7th team to get a ticket to the Super 8s. It also means it's the end of the road for both Australia and Ireland. The forecast was for showers right through the day and sadly it just didn't relent for any play to be possible. So, that's Super 8 Group G1 getting sorted. It's India, South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe, all of them playing matches in India. On the other hand, Sri Lanka, England, New Zealand and one of Pakistan / USA will constitute Super 8 Group G2 and their matches will be held in Colombo and Pallekele. More cricketing action is coming up shortly as Nepal and Scotland wind up their tournament with a clash at the Wankhede Stadium. Change tabs and follow all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

The umpires going up the stairs, and are now in what seems like the Match Referees room, even as it continues to drizzle. This could be it, folks. They now call the two captains over. A handshake between Raza and Tucker, and that will be that. The plug has been pulled. This game has been called off. Rain has won. Zimbabwe have not won technically, but they effectively have, and Zimbabwe are now through to the Super Eight. Australia and Ireland are out.

Zimbabwe through to the Tasman? Huh? Well, let's give you some context. 'So qualifying for the Super 8 means automatic qualification for the next World Cup?', pips my colleague. The question has been framed keeping Zimbabwe in mind and actually, he is right.

These are the scenarios of direct qualification for a T20 World Cup - 1. The host nation (s). 2. Teams that qualified for the Super 8 stage of previous edition. 3. Three additional spots based on ICC team rankings upto a specific date, roughly 2 years prior.

So given that the next edition of the T20 World Cup is slated to be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, the Trans-Tasman rivals qualify directly.

But so do Zimbabwe, (assuming that they are in the Super 8 now), without needing to have to play any Qualifiers! Massive achievement. Yeah, we might be counting our chickens even before they have hatched but it does seem that the Lap Of The Gods is seeming to favour the Chevrons at this stage.

Apparently, Zimbabwe has not only qualified for the Super 8s but also the next world cup! Wahh

Match abandoned due to rain (no toss)
