On September 17, Sunday, India are scheduled to play against their neighbours Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. But, amidst all the excitement of the high intensity clash this weekend, we shouldn’t forget that the continental cricket spectacle has been marred by rain interruptions in almost every match played in Kandy, followed by the capital city of Sri Lanka during the Super Fours stage.

The weather forecast for the Asia Cup 2023 final is far from ideal on September 17, if you are a cricket fan who wants to see full 50 overs getting bowled across both the innings. There is a possibility of thunderstorms at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo in the afternoon, with rains not expected to abate much as we move into the night.
The previous match for Sri Lanka in the Super Fours stage of the Asia Cup 2023 was marred by rain interruptions on September 14, Thursday, too. The 42 overs a side contest was won by the home team, who defeated Pakistan on the final ball, with a two-wicket margin, to secure their passage through to the final of the tournament on DLS method.
Now, talking about the upcoming India versus Sri Lanka final of the continental cricketing spectacle, if the rain washes out the match on September 17, Sunday, then there is a provision of reserve day. The match will continue on September 18, Monday from the point it was called off for the day, due to the adverse weather conditions.
Moreover, the grand finale of the Asia Cup 2023 will be the eighth occasion when India will be taking on Sri Lanka in the summit clash of this tournament. While the Indian cricket team have won the final against their neighbour four times, they have lost it three times too.
