Australia would be playing Zimbabwe in Match 19 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on February 12th at the R. Premadasa Stadium. This Group stage match would be interesting since they compete on their way to sustain their winning streak in the tournament.

Australia entered the tournament with a strong opening victory. They look like a solid team across all the departments. The batters scored a competitive total for their opener, and their bowlers clinched a comfortable win. The 2021 tournament champions will now look to maintain their consistency and solidify their place in the group. On the other hand, Zimbabwe, with Sikandar Raza as their skipper, also won their opening match, which took place at the same venue. Having played a tournament already in Colombo, Zimbabwe will look to beat Australia with confidence.
