The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 got underway on February 7 with three superb games. On paper, all were supposed to be lopsided in full-member teams’ favour, but on the field, the associate nations made them sweat. India and Pakistan were stunned by the USA and the Netherlands. Had Max O’Dowd and Shubham Ranjane picked one certain catch, things would’ve started on a breathtaking note at the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Scotland also gave the West Indies a run for their money.
Now, on day 2, we have three more great games coming up for you. The biggest match of the day will be between New Zealand and Afghanistan, part of Group D. It is a massive game since South Africa are also part of this group. Meanwhile, England will open their account against Nepal as well at the Wankhede Stadium. Meanwhile, co-hosts Sri Lanka also will be in action tonight when they host Ireland in Colombo.
