Australia face Ireland in Match 14 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, with the two teams entering the contest under contrasting circumstances.
Despite a recent dip in form, including a 0-3 T20I series loss to Pakistan, Australia remain one of the tournament favourites. Led by Mitchell Marsh, the side possesses formidable firepower across the batting order and a balanced bowling unit capable of exploiting Sri Lankan conditions. Experienced campaigners like Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head provide explosiveness, while Adam Zampa remains a key weapon in the middle overs. Australia will be keen to put recent disappointments behind them and build early momentum in the competition.
But how can fans across the globe witness the marquee ICC tournament action live without visiting the stadium? Take a look.
