The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 continues today, February 11, with a triple-header of matches across different venues. The day promises high-intensity group matches and strong competition between top cricket nations.

Australia vs. Ireland

Australia will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The match is scheduled to commence at 3:00 PM local time (8:30 PM AEDT). Australia is in Group B and will also face co-hosts Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Oman in the group stage. All of Australia's group matches will be played in Sri Lanka.

Australia enters the tournament following a disappointing three-match T20 series against Pakistan. Bowling stalwarts Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have been ruled out of the tournament. Mitchell Marsh will captain the Australian side, which includes players such as Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa and Tim David.

Ireland will be looking for their first win after losing to Sri Lanka. In their tournament opener, Ireland lost to Sri Lanka by 20 runs. They dropped seven catches and gave up 59 runs in their final four overs. Paul Stirling captains the Ireland squad.

Historically, Australia holds a 2-0 record against Ireland in T20Is.

South Africa vs. Afghanistan

The first match of the day features South Africa against Afghanistan in a Group D match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad at 11:00 AM IST.

South Africa started their campaign with a 56-run win over Canada. Aiden Markram leads the South African side, which includes Quinton de Kock, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.

Afghanistan will be looking to bounce back after a five-wicket loss to New Zealand in their opener. Rashid Khan leads a strong spin-heavy Afghanistan squad.

South Africa has historically dominated Afghanistan, winning all three of their previous meetings.

England vs. West Indies

The final fixture of the day will see England and West Indies compete at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai at 7:00 PM IST. This Group C match features two former champions.

England is coming off a narrow escape against Nepal. They face a West Indies side that defeated Scotland comfortably in their opener.
