Weather remains a prominent concern in the Asia Cup, with the possibility of rain causing disruptions in this match. Unfortunately, there are no reserve days available for the remaining Super Four round matches.
Regarding the pitch, it remains uncertain whether the one used for the IND vs PAK match will be in use again. If that happens, the pitch is likely to be on the slower side. Opting to bat first is advisable, as scores exceeding 250 have proven to be defendable in Sri Lanka’s conditions.
