T20 WC: Ireland Win Toss, Elect To Bowl First As Sri Lanka Begin Group B Campaign At Home
T20 World Cup: Ireland won the toss and elected to bowl first against co-hosts Sri Lanka in a Group B match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.
Ireland, who were winless at the 2024 edition, arrive with momentum from series victories over Italy and the UAE in Dubai. “It’s slightly different from the last time we were here. It looks a little bit drier, but it looks like a good wicket. It’s pretty hard and firm, so we’ll see what we can do with the new ball here and see if we can chase down whatever they set.
“I think we need to be at our best, and that’s pretty much it. We’ve had a good build-up, preparation has been excellent, so we’re ready to get off and get things started here at the Premadasa. We’ve got good all-round options in the middle, and we’ve picked the extra batter tonight, so hopefully that’ll come in handy towards the back end of the game,” said captain Paul Stirling.
