The Super Four stage of the 2023 Asia Cup has started, with Pakistan securing a resounding victory over Bangladesh in the opening match. Bangladesh appeared to struggle against the formidable Pakistani team and must swiftly regroup.
Their upcoming encounter is against Sri Lanka. The Lankans have a commendable track record against the Tigers in one-day international cricket and have already defeated them in this edition of the Asia Cup. The advantage of playing in familiar home conditions further benefits Sri Lanka’s prospects.
With so much at stake, take a look at some suggested fantasy teams for the upcoming match.
R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, Pitch Report
The surface at R. Premadasa Stadium typically provides a favourable setting for batters, particularly during the initial stages of a match. It offers a desirable combination of brisk pace and bounce.
However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to lose some of its pace and gradually becomes more conducive to spin bowling, thus challenging batsmen to get runs with greater difficulty.
Regarding the weather conditions in Colombo, the forecast anticipates overcast skies with the possibility of a couple of thunderstorms, particularly in the early part of the day.
