SL vs BAN Colombo Weather Report Live Today And Pitch Report- Super 4 Match 2, Asia Cup 2023. Colombo is all set to host the SL vs BAN Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match on September 9, Saturday. The match starts at 3 pm IST which is 3 pm local time as well. The Pakistan leg of Asia Cup 2023 is over with Pakistan beating Bangladesh in the first Super 4 game in Lahore on Wednesday.

The SL vs BAN match starts the Colombo leg of the tournament. The stadium will host the remaining games including the final on September 17. The weather in Colombo has been unpredictable for the last few days. All the matches in Colombo can be affected by rain as there is a forecast for continuous rain in the city.

The ACC had earlier chosen Hambantota as an alternate venue to host the Super 4 games. However, they made a U-turn on their decision and decided to go on with Colombo despite the rain expected to play spoilsport in the big games. The India vs Pakistan Super 4 match is also scheduled in Colombo on Sunday, September 10. The previous IND-PAK match in Pallekele was washed out with the teams sharing a point each.

Speaking about the SL vs BAN match, this is a must-win for Bangladesh to keep their Asia Cup campaign alive. The Tigers have already lost once to Sri Lanka earlier in the tournament. They will be without Najmul Hossain Shanto for the rest of the tournament who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Shanton scored runs in the first two games for Bangladesh and did not play the match against Pakistan. Litton Das is fit and has returned to the team.

Sri Lanka without their premier bowlers Wanindu Hasaranga, Lahiru Kumara, Dusmantha Chameera, and Dishan Madhushanka looks a weaker bowling side. They were tested by Afghanistan in their previous match. For Bangladesh to win, they need to exploit this weakness in the Lankan attack.

The SL vs BAN match starts in Colombo at 3 pm IST. The venue is a good one for batting with scores over 250 being the average first innings score. Anything above 250 will be a tough target to chase for the team batting second. The Tigers need to be pinpointed in all departments of the game to win this match against the Lankans.

Speaking about the weather, there is an 80 percent chance of rain in the daytime which increases to nearly 85 percent in the evening. The rain might be accompanied by thunderstorms and cloudy skies. There is a high probability that the SL vs BAN match might be a rain-truncated game.
