ICC Men's Т20 World Cup 2026, Match 32: Ireland vs Zimbabwe

ICC Men's Т20 World Cup 2026, Match 32: Ireland vs Zimbabwe

Tue, Feb 17 EST4:30 AM EST

In a battle for Group B survival, Ireland and Zimbabwe face off in Match 32 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

Taking place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, this fixture has become a high-stakes rescue mission for both sides. Both teams have suffered major injury blows, losing key veteran stars just as the race for the Super Eight reaches its boiling point. You can catch every ball of this intense rivalry live on Willow by Cricbuzz.

Head-to-Head: The Ultimate Stalemate
Historically, there is almost nothing to separate these two sides. Their T20I rivalry is one of the most balanced in world cricket, with both teams frequently trading victories in high-pressure ICC and bilateral encounters.

Overall T20Is: 18 matches

Ireland Wins: 8

Zimbabwe Wins: 8

No Result: 2

Last Meeting: 3rd T20I, Feb 25, 2025 (No Result).

T20 World Cup 2022: Zimbabwe won by 31 runs (Sikandar Raza 82).

Team Form & Recent Results
Ireland (L-L-L-W-W) The "Men in Green" are in the midst of a crisis. After losing their opening matches to Sri Lanka and Australia, they were dealt a devastating blow on Friday when captain Paul Stirling was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with knee ligament damage.

Last Match: Lost to Australia by 67 runs (Feb 11, 2026).

Match 1: Lost to Sri Lanka by 20 runs (Feb 8, 2026).

Status: Sitting in 4th place in Group B with 0 points.

News: 20-year-old Sam Topping has been called up as an injury replacement for Stirling.

Zimbabwe (W-W-L-L-W) Zimbabwe started the tournament strongly but has also been bitten by the injury bug. Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Brendan Taylor has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, forcing the Chevrons to reshuffle their batting order just as they face the group's most critical stretch.

Recent Match: Stunned former champions Australia (Feb 13, 2026).

Match 8: Defeated Oman by 8 wickets (Feb 9, 2026).

News: Ben Curran (brother of Sam and Tom Curran) has joined the squad as Taylor's replacement.

Players in Focus
Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe): The captain and heartbeat of the team. Fresh off a match-winning performance against Australia, his all-round brilliance remains Zimbabwe's greatest asset in Kandy's spinning conditions.

Mark Adair (Ireland): In the absence of Stirling's leadership, Adair's role as the senior bowling spearhead is more vital than ever. His ability to strike early with the new ball will be key to unsettling Zimbabwe's reshuffled top order.

Harry Tector (Ireland): Now the undisputed pillar of the Irish batting lineup. With the captain gone, the responsibility to anchor the innings and combat Zimbabwe's spin-heavy attack falls squarely on his shoulders.

Blessing Muzarabani (Zimbabwe): The "Lanky Pacer." His height and bounce on the Pallekele track will be a nightmare for the Irish middle order, especially during the death overs. More
