SL Vs IRE Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by Sri Lanka, with some matches being played in Sri Lanka. This match is a Group B game and will see two teams with a lot of experience in this competition.
Sri Lanka, as co-hosts of this World Cup, automatically qualified for this competition. After making it to the Super 4s in last year’s Asia Cup, Sri Lanka lost an ODI series and a tri-series final to Pakistan, before tying a T20I series agaisnt them. Then came an ODI and a T20I series loss to England right before the start of this tournament.
Meanwhile, Ireland directly qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup due to their ICC rankings. Last year, they gave England and Bangladesh tough competition in T20Is. Then came series wins against Italy and the UAE. Their only warm-up game before this World Cup was against Pakistan, which was washed away.

SL Vs IRE Match 06 2026 T20 World Cup R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report
The pitches in Colombo are mostly bowling-friendly ones. This is something we saw in the first ODI as well. More specifically, it is a spinner’s haven. The ball takes sharp turns and bounces unexpectedly here. Earlier in the game, batters might take something from the surface. But as the pitch starts to crack, it is the spinner’s game. Wiley pacers with a lot of variation, too, can take advantage of the cracks and variable bounce to prosper here. The square boundaries here are about 68m away from the batter, while the straight ones go as far as 75m.
SL Vs IRE Match 06 Weather Report
It will be a sticky evening in Colombo. The skies will be cloudy with a minuscule chance of rain. The winds will be low, while the humidity will be high. The temperatures will hover around the 25 degrees Celsius mark at the time of the match.
