Day 10 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 began in Delhi where Afghanistan kept their campaign alive with a five-wicket win over UAE. Chasing 160/9, Afghanistan got home with four balls to spare to register their first victory of the tournament, a result that keeps them mathematically in the Super 8 race while pushing UAE closer to elimination.
In Kolkata, England confirmed their place in the Super 8. After posting 202/7 against Italy, the Three Lions bowled their opponents out for 178 to secure a 24-run win. The victory strengthens England's position at the top end of Group C and removes any final-day uncertainty around qualification.
The final fixture in Pallekele had significant ramifications in Group B. Australia, needing a win to stay alive, were outplayed by Sri Lanka in a high-scoring contest. After half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head powered Australia to 181, Pathum Nissanka's unbeaten century sealed a result that leaves the former champions on the brink of an early exit.
The Men from Down Under could be knocked out of the race for the Super 8 if Zimbabwe beat Ireland on February 17.
