According to the weather department, there will be continuous rain here for the next few days. For this, reason ACC has shifted all the matches to Colombo.
The final match will be played on September 17:
Hambantota The city of Sri Lanka is located in the Southern Province. This is considered a very dry area. While it is raining heavily in Colombo. There is a possibility of rain in Pallekele and Dambulla also. In such a situation, ACC has shifted all the matches from Colombo to Hambantota. Now the final of the Asia Cup will also be played on this ground on 17th September.
India-Pakistan second match will also be held on the same ground:
In the Asia Cup 2023, a great match was played between India and Pakistan on Saturday (2 September). But this match held at Pallekele Stadium was lost due to rain. This match was canceled due to heavy rain. Only team India could bat in this match. The Indian team had a bad start after winning the toss and batting first, but the team scored 266 runs.
Now the Indian team has played its second match against Nepal on Monday (September 4). Nepal was given a target of 231 runs in the match. In such a situation, it is almost certain for Team India to win this match. If the Indian team wins this match, it will qualify for Super 4. In such a situation, once again competition will be seen between India and Pakistan. This match was fixed in Colombo on 10 September. But now it will be shifted to Hambantota.
