Today's weather in Colombo for the India vs. Bangladesh matchup: Will rain affect the 2023 Asia Cup's Super 4 championship match?
Today's weather in Colombo: On Friday, India and Bangladesh will play in the final Super 4 game of the 2023 Asia Cup.
When Team India overcame Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage on Tuesday, it became the first team to advance to the 2023 Asia Cup final. In addition, India will play the island country in the championship game after Dasun Shanaka's team won an exciting match against Pakistan on Thursday night despite playing in wet conditions. However, India will face another challenge before the championship game when they play Bangladesh, who have already been eliminated.
Bangladesh was the first team eliminated in the second round after suffering consecutive losses to Pakistan and Sri Lanka the previous week. However, Shakib Al Hasan's team will strive to finish the season on a high note and will draw motivation from their performance against India in the home ODI series they won 2-1 last year.
The Colombo weather has been a serious source of worry during the Asia Cup competition. The decision to stick to the original schedule was taken after initial conversations within the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) over moving the Super 4 matches to Hambantota.
The weather forecast once again poses a big concern for the forthcoming India vs. Bangladesh game, with an expected 65 percent chance of rain. Both the morning and the afternoon are forecast to have thunderstorms, and a 90% cloud cover is predicted. This raises questions about whether inclement weather will affect the match. With the exception of India's most recent encounter against Sri Lanka, all of their games in the present Asia Cup have been impacted by the weather.
The weather also caused delays in Thursday's Super 4 match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka; the toss was delayed by more than two hours, and the game was cut to 45 overs per side. After another delay during Pakistan's first innings, the overs were lowered to 42.
Will India give players a break?
The team management may be inclined at this point because the squad is already in the final to to keep them fresh for the title match on September 17, the team is resting several of its players. India have played two ODIs on three consecutive days (one of which was Reserve Day), therefore weariness may be a factor while selecting the starting XI for Friday's match against Bangladesh.
