No room for comfort as Sri Lanka’s real test begins t20 wc 2026 View(s): View(s):If Sri Lanka are sitting pretty, relaxed and convinced that their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign is firmly on track, they are mistaken. Sri Lanka also enjoy the best net run rate among all 20 teams after two games, with a commanding 3.125 to lead Group ‘B’. However, these numbers and standings do not guarantee Sri Lanka a cakewalk into the Super Eights. With all teams having completed two matches, Sri Lanka sit top of Group ‘B’, narrowly ahead of Zimbabwe. Of the three contenders, Australia, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, the team that best executes its plans on the day will advance.
