By IANS News February 17, 2026 • 14:56 PM View: 324

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: The toss for the Group B clash between Zimbabwe and Ireland here at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium has been delayed because of rain. The ground is under covers, as it is still drizzling.

"We're in Kandy for our match against Zimbabwe at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Conditions are not great. It has been raining much of the day, and the covers are on. We’ll update as soon as we have any news," Cricket Ireland shared on X.

After a stunning win over former champions Australia, Zimbabwe will look to continue the momentum against a tricky Ireland side and seal their berth in the Super 8s berth in Pallekele on Tuesday.
