As India faces off against Sri Lanka in the Super 4 clash of the Asia Cup 2023, the city of Colombo is expected to grapple with intermittent rainfall throughout the day.
The reserve day for the much-anticipated India vs. Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 stage proved to be a game-changer as the match concluded with India securing a resounding 228-run victory. However, the cricketing world now turns its attention to India’s upcoming encounter with Sri Lanka, set to take place at the same venue, the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for this match does not seem promising, and to add to the concern, there will be no reserve day available in case the minimum requirement of a 20-over-per-side contest cannot be fulfilled.
Over the past few days, Colombo has experienced an abundance of rainfall, and Tuesday’s forecast does not appear to deviate from this pattern. According to Accuweather, intermittent rain is anticipated throughout the day.
