Australia's T20 WC Super 8s Hopes Dwindle After Sri Lanka Loss

  • Australia faces potential group-stage elimination from the 2026 T20 World Cup after a significant loss to Sri Lanka.
  • Pathum Nissanka's century led Sri Lanka to a comfortable victory, securing their Super Eights spot.
  • Australia, with only two points from three matches, now relies on Zimbabwe losing both their remaining games.
  • If Ireland beats Zimbabwe, Australia must defeat Oman with a superior Net Run Rate to qualify.
  • Injury concerns for key players like Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have impacted Australia's performance.
