The much-awaited Asia Cup 2023 Final is just a few hours away. And ahead of the commencement of the much-anticipated India vs. Sri Lanka fixture, one thing continues to cast a shadow of uncertainty over the much-anticipated clash & i.e. the unpredictable Colombo Weather. With both teams gearing up for the coveted trophy, rain could play a spoilsport in the marquee fixture resulting in the match ending in No Result. Colombo will see the sun shining bright or clouds will ruin cricket enthusiasts’ mood resulting in another washout? Let’s have a look at the Colombo Weather Forecast for the Asia Cup 2023 Final & what are the scenarios for winning the summit clash if there is a washout.
The Clash of Titans:
The final of Asia Cup 2023 promises to be an epic showdown as reigning champions Sri Lanka will lock horns with the tournament’s most dangerous team, India. Sri Lanka the winner of Asia Cup 2022 is brimming with confidence while India boasts of a remarkable record in the tournament by winning the titles seven times. Both the teams look potent & eyeing a victory with the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in the picture.
Colombo Weather Forecast
The weather forecast for Asia Cup Final doesn’t look encouraging. According to the Weather forecast the day is expected to be cloudy with chances of thundershowers in the morning followed by thunderstorms in the afternoon. Even the forecast for the night is not happening as it will continue to stay cloudy with evening thunderstorms and thundershowers later.
Even Weather.com communicated the same forecasting 80% chance of thunderstorms on match day during the day & a chance of 70% rain at night. On the other hand, timeanddate.com predicts isolated thunderstorms throughout the day, leaving cricket enthusiasts anxious about the fate of the match.
Is there Reserve Day for IND vs SL Asia Cup 2023 Final
Finally, the ACC has allocated a ‘Reserve Day’ for the IND vs. SL Asia Cup Final. So if rain results in the summit clash get washed out on Sunday the fixture will resume on Monday from the point from where it was stopped. However, to achieve a result a minimum of 20 overs per team must be completed. If the rain persists on the reserve day and this quota is not met, India and Sri Lanka will share the Asia Cup 2023 trophy, just as they did in the ICC Champions Trophy 2002 Final under similar circumstances.
