Today, Pakistan’s cricket team is set to face Sri Lanka in Colombo, with the goal of securing their place in the final round, provided the match is not affected by rain.
This match can be seen as a virtual semi-final for Pakistan against Sri Lanka, as India is the only team to have won both of their Super Four matches, defeating both Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The Indian team has already qualified for the final with two consecutive victories.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have each won one and lost one of their Super Four matches. While both teams have defeated Bangladesh, Sri Lanka holds a slightly higher net run rate (NRR) than Pakistan.
Pakistan is hopeful that adverse weather conditions won’t interfere, potentially eliminating them from the Asia Cup 2023 due to expected rain washouts.
Pakistan has made five changes to the lineup from their Super Four match against India earlier this week. Mohammad Haris, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Zaman Khan, and Mohammad Nawaz have been included in the Playing XI, while Fakhar Zaman, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Faheem Ashraf, and Salman Ali Aghan have been sidelined for the Sri Lanka game.
Rain Predictions
Weather reports indicate a high likelihood of rain during the mentioned match, with poor chances of play. The Weather Channel predicts an 86 percent chance of rain in Colombo today, raising doubts about the match’s fate.
In contrast, AccuWeather predicts that the game will be played under overcast conditions. However, data suggests a continuous risk of rain, with an 84 percent chance of precipitation and 95 percent cloud cover throughout the day. While daytime rain is not anticipated to be heavy, cloudy skies are expected.
