T20 WC: Stoinis, Renshaw Guide Australia To 182/6 Against Ireland
T20 World Cup: A 61-run partnership between Matthew Renshaw and Marcus Stoinis helped Australia reach 182/6 in 20 overs against Ireland in their first match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday.
Coming to bat after winning the toss, Australia were off to a bad start as their stand-in captain, Travis Head, was run out on the seventh ball of the innings after a mix-up with his opening partner, Josh Inglis. Head scored just six runs off seven balls he played and hit one four.
After an early wicket, Inglis and Cameron Green played with positive intent and attacked Ireland bowlers fiercely. The duo forged a partnership of 49 runs off just 23 balls before Green was out on the last ball of the fifth over, trying to hit a six against Mark Adair. Green scored 21 runs off just 11 balls and provided momentum to the batting side with two sixes and one four.
