After wrapping up the assignments in Lahore, Multan and Pallekele, the Asia Cup 2023 actions, now, shift to Colombo, where the remainder of the tournament will be staged.
Sri Lanka has been undefeated so far in the Asia Cup 2023, however, this statement could mislead a lot of people. Although the Lankan Lions managed to win both of its matches eventually, they had to toil hard for the win and at times it has even looked very pale for them.
Their win against Bangladesh, during the Group Stages, came with a lot of difficulty. The island nation felt discomfort in chasing a scanty total of 165 runs and won the contest by five wickets only, that too after playing out 39 overs.
Their recent win against Afghanistan came out of a slight miscalculation in the Afghanistan camp. After scoring 291 runs, Sri Lanka let Afghanistan batters come so close to the target that the win/loss margin dropped to just 2 runs. Afghanistan had to chase the 291 runs in 37.1 overs and they were right on track, however, they just fell 2 runs short of achieving the target.
Although it’s a win for Sri Lanka, a nervous one though, which won’t do any better to their confidence. Sri Lanka has performed decently as a batting unit, but their bowling has to step up and close the game before it reaches its climax.
On the other side, Bangladesh suffered a heartbreak after Shanto was ruled out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury. Notably, Shanto had mustered a century knock against Afghanistan and a match-saving 89-run knock against Sri Lanka during the group stage.
Batting predominantly has been concerning for Bangladesh. Barring a few players, the outing has not been encouraging for the management. Their bowling, contrary to the batting, has been exceptional and they would hope for a more formidable show in the coming games as the stakes are high now.

R Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report, Weather Forecast
It will be a fresh surface for the players to play on. Usually, the track has been slow in Colombo with not much help to the batters initially, however, as the game progresses it becomes flat, which is an ideal surface for batters to exploit. Moreover, the spinners fetch plenty of aid off the surface.
The weather forecast for the game isn’t great in Colombo with 80 per cent chances of rain. There may be a lot of start-and-stop kind of play as Sri Lanka takes on Bangladesh. Notably, no reserve day has been put in place for this fixture.
