The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has been superb so far, with lesser-known teams punching above their weight. We haven’t seen any upsets as of now, but the thrill has seen almost every game go deep. That is the beauty of T20 cricket as well, giving chances for weaker teams to pose serious threats to full-member nations. On February 8, Nepal almost scripted history as they remained just one hit away from beating England.
Now, the caravan continues as we head into Day 3 of the tournament. The first match of the day features newcomers Italy, who face Scotland at the Eden Gardens. This would be Italy’s first-ever World Cup game, and they can knock Scotland today, as they did beat them in the T20 World Cup European Qualifiers. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe and Oman will start their campaign in Colombo in the afternoon.
The night game features last year’s finalists in South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. They go head-to-head against Canada, who will have a tough task ahead of them. After today, teams including Australia, the UAE and Namibia would remain without a match so far at the 10th edition of the T20 World Cup.
