Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Super-8 Rain Equation: In the T20 World Cup 2026, a Super-8 match will be played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand on Wednesday (25 February). This match will be held at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Till now, rain has been witnessed in some of the tournament matches played in Sri Lanka. The match between Pakistan and New Zealand has also been canceled due to rain.
Now the question is arising that if the Super-8 match played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand today gets washed out due to rain, then which team will benefit and who will have to suffer the loss? So let us understand what is the whole equation in case of rain.
Sri Lanka almost out in case of rain
If the match is canceled due to rain, then it will be almost certain that Sri Lanka will be out of the race for the semi-finals. This is because Sri Lanka has played one match so far, in which they have faced defeat. Therefore, in case of cancellation, Sri Lanka will have only 1 point after 2 matches. After this, the team can reach only 3 points by winning its last match, with which it will be very difficult to reach the semi-finals.
beneficial for new zealand
New Zealand may benefit if the match is cancelled. New Zealand’s first match against Pakistan was also cancelled, after which the Kiwi team got 1 point. Now if New Zealand’s second match in Super-8 against Sri Lanka is also cancelled, then New Zealand under the captaincy of Mitchell Santner will have 2 points. In this situation, the Kiwi team can easily enter the semi-finals by winning its last league match in Super-8.
Pakistan will suffer loss
Rain can harm Pakistan in the New Zealand-Sri Lanka match. If the match is canceled due to rain, New Zealand will have 2 points. In such a situation, the Kiwi team will get 4 points by winning its last match. At the same time, Pakistan will not be able to move beyond 3 points even if it wants to. In this way rain can become difficult for Pakistan.
