The match between Ireland and Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup 2026 was abandoned due to rain on Tuesday. With this, both the teams were divided, and both got one point, knocking Australia out of the Super 8. Zimbabwe qualified for the next round from Group B instead of Australia.

It is the sixth time Australia has not qualified for the T20 World Cup playoffs. The Australian captain, Mitchell Marsh, is extremely disappointed with the team's exit from the tournament and believes the injured players are responsible for the team's poor performance.

Marsh said, "To be honest, it's very disappointing for us. We didn't qualify for the Super 8s. Injuries hampered us a lot. Furthermore, we didn't play very good cricket. We wanted to finish the 2026 T20 World Cup on a positive note by playing our last match well, but this is a very sad day for us. Congratulations to Zimbabwe for advancing to the next round."
