The 22nd match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will see Ireland take on Oman at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, with the action set to begin at 11:00 AM on February 14.

Ireland have endured a slow start to their campaign, suffering defeats in their opening two fixtures and sitting fourth on the standings without a point. Despite the early setbacks, they will back themselves against Oman, banking on their experience and overall depth.

Meanwhile, Jatinder Singh’s side have mirrored Ireland’s struggles, going down in both their outings so far in the tournament.
