Rain could interrupt India vs Bangladesh Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match in Colombo

India will face Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday. This will be the sixth and last match of the Super 4 stage, which will be followed by the final at the same venue on Sunday.

The result of Friday’s contest will not have any significant bearing on the tournament as the Men in Blue have qualified for the final, while Bangladesh have been knocked out. India secured their place in the summit clash by getting the better of Sri Lanka by 41 runs in a low-scoring encounter in Colombo earlier this week. Before that, Rohit Sharma and company thumped Pakistan by 228 runs in their opening Super 4 clash.

Bangladesh have had a disappointing Super 4 campaign. They were hammered by Pakistan by seven wickets in Lahore before succumbing to a 21-run defeat to Sri Lanka at the Premadasa.

While Bangladesh may have been eliminated from the finals race, they will be keen to sign off from the Asia Cup on a high.
