Ireland will face Oman in Match 22 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday, February 14, at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo.
Both teams have endured a disappointing start to their campaign, losing their first two matches, and are now virtually out of the Super Eight qualification race. However, with pride still at stake, Ireland and Oman will be desperate to register their first points in the tournament.
Ireland have also suffered a major setback as skipper Paul Stirling has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup due to a hamstring injury, leaving the side searching for leadership in a must-win clash.
Oman, led by Jatinder Singh, have struggled in both departments so far and will be hoping to produce a stronger all-round display on the Colombo pitch.
