Ireland vs Zimbabwe LIVE Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Toss Delayed Due to Rain in Pallekele
- Zimbabwe advanced when their Ireland fixture in Kandy was washed out on February 17, qualifying for the Super Eight as Australia and Ireland were eliminated.
- Persistent drizzle at Pallekele kept the covers on and delayed the toss, with match umpires abandoning the game at 5:30 pm local time before the 6:10 pm cut‑off.
- The Chevrons have been unbeaten so far, collecting five points from three games after chasing 104 to beat Oman and defending 169 to upset the Australia national team by 23 runs at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
- Australia remain with one game left against Oman on Friday but cannot catch Zimbabwe, who join Sri Lanka national team in Group 1 of the Super Eight to face India, South Africa national team, and West Indies national team.
- Despite the washout, about two dozen Zimbabwe fans sang and danced, with Raza saying `I can tell you, whichever corner they're sitting at, at any ground, they'll be the loudest, and they have the songs`.
