At the 2023 Asia Cup, there have been numerous disruptions due to rain in the games played so far in Sri Lanka. Now there is a possibility that there will be heavy rain in the final match to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on November 17. The Indian team confirmed its place in the Asian Cup final by defeating Sri Lanka in the Super 4 tournament. While the other team’s decision will be decided by the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Due to rain, the Indian team played games on three consecutive days. They first played a game against Pakistan on September 10th, which was ended due to rain on the reserve day on September 11th. On September 12, Team India again played their next match against Sri Lanka. Rain had also disrupted this game, but the game was over.
The weather is expected to remain clear on the day of the important Super 4 match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on September 14. The weather could be very bad for the final. In such a situation, it is expected that the title fight will be concluded on the reserve day.
After a heavy defeat in the match against India, the Pakistan team now needs to win the match against Sri Lanka to secure a place in the final. In such a situation, if this match is canceled due to bad weather, the Sri Lankan team will have the advantage because in the Super 4 points table, the Sri Lankan team’s net run rate is much better than that of Pakistan. Both Sri Lanka and Pakistan have 2-2 points. There wasn’t even a reserve day scheduled for this game. Currently, the net run rate in Sri Lanka is -0.200 while in Pakistan it is -1.892.
