India are up against defending champions Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 final on September 17 in Colombo. Here are the weather updates for the IND vs SL ODI including the latest rain predictions.
The two teams, who won two of the three Super Four matches, will face off in the eighth head-to-head Asia Cup final. Rohit Sharma’s team have won seven times (1984, 1988, 1990/91, 1995, 2010, 2016, 2018) leads the record.
A confident India will be looking to add to their trophy haul despite a minor hiccup in their six-run dead run loss to Bangladesh. For the final showdown, the Superfours leaders have brought in five senior players (Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya) who were rested from the previous minor encounter. I’m thinking of letting you do that. Axar Patel suffered multiple injuries to batsmen in the previous match, making his selection questionable. Spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar was chosen for the cover.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, defended their title and reached the final with a thrilling victory in their last match against Pakistan. Charis Asaranka needed two points from one ball and led his team to the finish with a calm 49* (47). Batsman Sahan Arachge, who played two ODIs, was brought in as a replacement for injured Mahish Teekshana. Teshana was ruled out of Sunday’s competition due to a torn hamstring.
