Sri Lanka secured a place in the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup following a decisive victory over Australia in Kandy. Pathum Nissanka played a pivotal role, scoring 100 not out off 52 balls, contributing to Sri Lanka's successful chase of Australia's 181. The team reached the target with a score of 184-2, winning by eight wickets.

Nissanka's century, which included five sixes and ten fours, was supported by a 97-run partnership with Kusal Mendis for the second wicket. Nissanka's achievement marked him as the first Sri Lankan to score two hundreds in T20 internationals. After Mendis's dismissal, Nissanka and Pavan Rathnayake added 76 runs, leading Sri Lanka to victory.

Australia faced difficulties due to injuries, with captain Mitchell Marsh missing the initial matches. Upon his return, Marsh scored 54, and together with Travis Head, they contributed 104 runs for the first wicket. However, Australia's innings concluded at 181 as they lost their last six wickets for 21 runs, impacted by Sri Lanka's leg spinner Dushan Hemantha, who took 3-37.

Sri Lanka's win places Australia in a precarious position. If Zimbabwe defeats either Ireland or Sri Lanka in their upcoming matches, Australia will be eliminated. Alternatively, Australia must achieve a significant victory over Oman to advance based on net run rate. A failure to progress would mark Australia's first group stage exit since 2009.

England advanced to the Super Eights after overcoming Italy in Kolkata. Meanwhile, Afghanistan secured a win over the United Arab Emirates in New Delhi, maintaining their tournament presence and ensuring South Africa's progression to the Super Eights.
