In a crucial Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup 2026 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka won the toss and elected to field first against New Zealand. Both teams made strategic changes to their line-ups. Sri Lanka brought in Charith Asalanka for Kamindu Mendis, while New Zealand replaced James Neesham with Cole McConchie to bolster their spin options on a dry surface. New Zealand currently sits second in Super 8 Group 2 after a rain-affected match against Pakistan, while Sri Lanka is looking to bounce back after a recent loss to England.
