T20 World Cup 2026: super eight thrills to watch out for today

WEB DESK: Hold onto your seats, cricket fans! The Super Eight stage of the ICC T20 World Cup is back in action today with two blockbuster matches guaranteed to deliver edge-of-the-seat excitement.

The first clash sees Sri Lanka take on England at 2:30 PM, a high-stakes battle that promises fireworks as both teams hunt for crucial Super Eight points. Expect aggressive batting, cunning bowling, and some stellar fielding as these two sides fight to stay in the semi-final race.

Later in the day, all eyes will turn to Ahmedabad Cricket Stadium, where India locks horns with South Africa at 6:30 PM. With star players on both sides, fans can expect a pulsating contest filled with power-hitting and tactical brilliance.

PAK VS NZ WASHED OUT

Yesterday’s Super Eight opener between Pakistan and New Zealand was washed out due to rain in Colombo, leaving both teams with one point each. Pakistan, however, knows there’s no time to waste. Victory is a must in their upcoming matches against England and Sri Lanka if they want to secure a semi-final spot.

Here’s the crunch:

If Pakistan wins both matches, they advance directly to the semi-finals.

If they win one and lose one, the path becomes tricky with possible “if-but” scenarios, making every run and wicket today absolutely vital.

The Pakistan squad, energised despite the rain delay disappointment, is ready to unleash its full arsenal against England in Pallekele, with ground staff working overtime to ensure perfect playing conditions. Fans are counting on explosive performances as the Super Eight stage heats up… every boundary, every wicket could be decisive!

Buckle up. Today promises cricket drama, power plays, and nail-biting finishes. The race to the semi-finals is ON!
