India are already appearing arguably the strongest and most complete team in this Asia Cup. Prior to the Asia Cup Final and, more importantly, the ICC World Cup, which is set to begin in 20 days, India is checking all the right boxes. The top order is on fire, the middle order scoring runs, and bowlers picking wickets; Indian management would be taking a sigh of relief.



Indian team have important matches in back-to-back days. They defeated the ICC No. 2 team Pakistan by a record margin of 228 runs and Indian players shattered numerous of records in their batting. Kuldeep Yadav was excellent with the ball and took a majestic fifer. India will definitely be in the best of their confidence and ready to take on Sri Lanka into the storm.



Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has injury issues running with them. Their bowling dealt a blow as 4 of their primary bowlers were not available for Asia Cup selection which include their prime allrounder Wanindu Hasaranga. Still, they are undefeated till now in this tournament. They would be looking to win this match to seal their spot in the finals.



India and Sri Lanka have faced off each other 165 times in ODIs where India bagged 96 wins and Sri Lanka got 57 with 11 ending without any result. Now, this important match for both teams will be another test if the weather supports and let it happen.



Down below is the IND vs SL weather forecast and pitch report of R. Premadasa Stadium,?Colombo:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-weather-forecast">IND vs SL Weather Forecast</h2>

As weather.com suggests, it is a overcast day with partially clear sky in Colombo city of Sri Lanka. Scattered thunderstorms are predicted in the evening with a moderate percentage of rain possibilities. Still, it is better than yesterday. The temperature of Lanka?s Colombo city will stay at 28?C till the evening and drop further a degree or two (27?C) at night.



There are minimal chances of rain except for one hour in the evening. Around an 15% chance of rain at the start of the play and it goes up to around 60% after a couple of hours but falls down to &lt;20% going forward. Humidity is also in a higher range of around 80%+. Winds will gust toward the southwest at the speed of ~20kmph during the day and 12kmph during the night.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">IND vs SL Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium</h2>



The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is widely known for greatly benefiting spinners and we saw the Kuldeep Yadav show yesterday. The average score at this stadium is roughly 250 but the Indian batting order is in red-hot form and they have well adjusted to the condition of Colombo. There are no such demons on the pitch but still, the batters will attempt to be patient in the first innings.



India played a match yesterday and most probably they are going to make some changes in their playing 11 but India's bench has similar strength as their playing 11s had yesterday.

The most successful teams of the Asia Cup have made it into the&nbsp;championship game yet another time. India, who won the Asia&nbsp;Cup seven times in total (1984, 1988, 1991, 1995, 2010, 2016, and 2018), would be eager to win the championship for a record-breaking eighth time. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would definitely be looking to defend their Cup and equal the numbers with India.



India topped the Super 4 table and were the first team to qualify for the Asia Cup 2023 Finals. India won 4 out of the 5 matches they played in the tournament. They defeated the Number 1(then) ODI team Pakistan by a record margin of 228 runs.

IND vs SL: Finally, the much-awaited FINAL of the Asia Cup 2023 between the two Asian giants is just a couple of hours away. India and Sri Lanka are all set to lock horns against each other one last time for the title today at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo from 03:00 PM IST. However, the weather reports are not appeasing as there are 98% rain chances in Colombo. In this post, we will walk you through the IND vs SL Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sl-weather-forecast">IND vs SL Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sl-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">IND vs SL Pitch Report Of R.

India and Sri Lanka are going to clash for the 9th time in the Finals of Asia Cup history. These two teams have dominated cricket in the Asian region and are well-deserving finalists in this edition too. While India have lifted the Asia Cup title 7 times, Sri Lanka are just behind with 6 titles. Sri Lanka will attempt to defend the title and also equal India in numbers and in the meantime, India will be aiming to claim the 8th Asia Cup title.



Pakistan was a bit unlucky and sloppy sometimes in the fielding aspect and finished last in the<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/asia-cup-2023-points-table-super-4-before-india-vs-sri-lanka-final-full-list-of-highest-run-getter-most-wickets/"> Asia Cup 2023 Points Table.</a> Bangladesh was the other team in the Super 4 and was eliminated along with Pakistan having an unsatisfying journey. 



Coming back to the IND vs SL final battle, the contest is to be played at the same venue e.i., R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. India and Sri Lanka met here just six days before and India won the match by 41 runs. The young Wellalage successfully put India on the backfoot with a fifer but batting disappointed them. Nevertheless, both have top-class batters and bowlers and are in the best of their forms.



However, there are undoubtedly more pressing issues that both teams must deal with. Axar's injury has forced him to pull off the final which undoubtedly affects the team balance. Theekshana's absence will make the Sri Lankan bowling unit more vulnerable, and many more puzzles that both teams need to crack in a couple of hours.



Down below is the IND vs SL Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium,&nbsp;Colombo:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-weather-forecast">IND vs SL Weather Forecast</h2>



IND vs SL | The FINAL of Asia Cup 2023 will take place on September 17 (Sunday) at R. Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka. The play begins at 3:00 PM IST.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/09/asia-cup-final.png" alt="IND vs SL Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of R.

As weather.com suggests, there is a 100% rain possibility in the afternoon around 2:00 PM(IST) around the toss time. It is an overcast day with a partially clear sky later in the evening in Colombo city of Sri Lanka. The weather forecast shows the high rain possibilities till 4:30 PM and then the clouds will move away. The temperature of Lanka?s Colombo city will stay at 27?C for the most part of the day till the evening and drop further a degree or two (24?C) at night.



There are minimal chances of rain after the first couple of hours of the match. Around a 100% chance of rain at the start of the play and it goes down to &lt;15% after 5:00 PM going forward. Humidity is in a higher range, hovering around 80%+. Winds will gust toward the West at the speed of ~10kmph during the day and ~6kmph during the night.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-pitch-report-of-r-premadasa-stadium">IND vs SL Pitch Report Of R. Premadasa Stadium</h2>



To be honest, the pitches of Premadasa Stadium are quite diverse. The batting surfaces for India vs Pakistan and Sri Lanka vs Pakistan were both excellent. India vs Sri Lanka featured a rank turner. Therefore, the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is quite advantageous to spinners when taking the previous four to five matches into account.



The typical score at this stadium is anywhere between 250 and 260, but if you're established on the crease, this 260 may quickly become a 280. The batters will make an effort to be patient in the opening innings even though there are no such demons on the pitch.

Asia Cup 2023 Final: The Rain has arrived in Colombo, Know the Current Update | India vs Sri Lanka, Final

asia-cup-2023-final-the-rain-has-arrived-in-colombo-know-the-current-update-india-vs-sri-lanka-final

IND vs SL: The stage of the World Cup, India on the blue corner and Sri Lanka on the red, and Wankhede Stadium is the venue! Every Indian Cricket fan would have got that MSD's stellar SIX in their minds when India beat Sri Lanka to lift the World Cup in 2011. India and Sri Lanka are scheduled to battle off in the exact venue today at 02:00 PM. Here we are with the IND vs SL Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Mumbai, and Pitch Report.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sl-weather-forecast">IND vs SL Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sl-rain-prediciton">IND vs SL Rain Prediciton</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pitch-report-of-wankhede-stadium-mumbai">Pitch Report of Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Seems it is very mindfully done that whoever designed the fixtures for this World Cup has intentionally slated IND vs SL at Wankhede Stadium. The roars of thousands of Indians, Gautam Gambhir's spectacular innings, Yuvraj Singh's unmatched contributions, Ravi Shashtri on the mic, and Dhoni's World Cup-winning shot! Those visuals never get old in our minds.



Men in blue are on fire this season. They first won the ODI Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka in September, then defeated Australia 2-1 in a 3-match home ODI series and now they are the only undefeated team in this World Cup. India have defeated big teams like Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan and sit at the top win a 100% win record.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Team-India-world-cup-2023.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG: Three Changes That India Might Make For Next Match Against England | India vs England ICC World Cup 2023" class="wp-image-121981" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Team India | Image: ICC/Getty Image</figcaption></figure>



Rohit and Co. will enter the ground with an eye on 7th consecutive win in this contest against Sri Lanka. With batters getting enough runs and bowlers being the charm of the team, this combination without Pandya looks like a well-balanced team. Hardly any chance for any changes in the playing 11 to the last one. However, Iyer has been a weak link in the middle against Short-pitch balls. This is his home ground and hopefully, he can generate an excellent innings here.



Sri Lanka had a miserable start to the tournament and lost the first three matches. They, however, came to the winning track and won two straight matches but lost to Afghanistan a couple of days before. That loss has practically eliminated them from the race of semifinal but they can definitely play a Partypooper for other teams.

The last time, when India played Sri Lanka in an ODI match was the final of Asia Cup 2023. Siraj was the hero of the match where he took 6 wickets in a blink of an eye and bundled out them in just 50 runs. It will be quite interesting if Sri Lanka have anything new to challenge this time.



Overall, it is going to be a good match. Sri Lanka have always put up a fight against India and this time it is the stage of the World Cup if they can do the same. Down below is the IND vs SL Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Mumbai, and Pitch Report.

A hot but overcast day in Mumbai City. Mumbai has very ?stable but dynamic? kind of weather throughout the year. Today, on 2 November 2023, the temperature of Mumbai City is expected to peak at 33?C in the afternoon and drop further as the sun goes down.



Humidity is predicted to hover between 45-55% in the match hours and winds will gust towards the Northwest at a speed of ~15Kmh during the day. It might be colder during the evening as cyclone warnings have been issued to the nearby areas.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-rain-prediciton">IND vs SL Rain Prediciton</h2>



There are zero chances of rain in Mumbai City of Maharashtra. The rain possibility is nearly nil during the match hours, however, there will be ~70% of the sky covered under clouds. An overcast day for India vs Sri Lanka is what weather.com predicts. Though, as it is aforementioned, the weather here in Mumbai is very dynamic. It can rain anytime when it is Mumbai but we must hope for a full 100-over game.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pitch-report-of-wankhede-stadium-mumbai">Pitch Report of Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai</h2>



Wankhede Stadium is regarded as a batting heaven. The pitch has a reputation for being batting-friendly for the course of the game and enables hitters to hit the ball through its line. This should be a high-scoring match unless Muhammad Siraj has other plans.



With only 25 ODIs being played here, the ground's sample size is sufficient. The average first-inning score in these games is 256, with the team batting first having a 13?12 edge over the side batting second.

IND vs SL Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast of Mumbai, and Pitch Report. Will Rain Interrupt India vs Sri Lanka ICC World Cup 2023?

IND vs SL 3rd T20I: With a lead of 2-0 in the T20I series, India will take on the hosts Sri Lanka in the last T20I of the series on 30 July. Rain interfared the 2nd T20I and in this post, we will walk you through the Strongest Playing 11s, Weather Forecast, and Pitch Report of Pallekele for IND vs SL 3rd T20I.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sl-3rd-t-20-i-sqauds-and-playing-11-s">IND vs SL 3rd T20I Sqauds and Playing11s</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-sl-3rd-t-20-i-weather-forecast">IND vs SL 3rd T20I Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pallekele-international-cricket-stadium-pitch-report">?Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



The new era of T20 cricket for the Indian team has taken a smooth take-off after the retirement of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja. Surya Kumar Yadav has taken over the transitional team under the new head coach Gautam Gambhir and he has won the first series of his leadership in an away series.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/IND-vs-SL-2024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-144815" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs SL</figcaption></figure>



One thing for sure happened in this series; India dominated with the bat. Less wickets in the powerplay is still an issue to tackle for Indian bowlers but they are doing a great job at the later half of the innings. 



Sri Lanka are neither having a good batting performance, nor a decisive bowling show. They have lost the T20I series but with India to try a few new combination, Lanka might be thinking for a chance to snatch a win in the last T20I. 



Below are the Strongest Playing 11s, Weather Forecast, and Pitch Report of Pallekele for IND vs SL 3rd T20I:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-3rd-t-20-i-sqauds-and-playing-11-s">IND vs SL 3rd T20I Sqauds and Playing11s</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-sl-3rd-t-20-i-weather-forecast">IND vs SL 3rd T20I Weather Forecast</h2>



It is just start of the rainy season in the Sri Lankan Islands and the weather is mostly cloudy in this time of the year. Hence, Pallekele is forecasted to have a slightly overcast day with temperatures just around 27?C throughout the day.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Pallekele-weather.jpg" alt="IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Strongest Playing 11s, Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Pallekele " class="wp-image-144960" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pallekele Weather Report (weather.com)</figcaption></figure>

There are quite low chances of rain in the Pallekele city. Winds of 10KMPH are expected to gust to West during the match hours.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pallekele-international-cricket-stadium-pitch-report">?Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report</h2>



In the first two matches, the teams that won the toss chose to bowl first. This is likely to happen again in the third T20I. The pitches have been good for both batters and spinners. Even Sri Lanka's top-order batters scored quickly on the Pallekele pitch. 



India chased a revised target of 78 runs in just 6.3 overs on Saturday. So, the pitch is good for batting, and the outfield is fast. We can expect a high-scoring game today.

5. Steve Smith (AUS)
Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.
4. Ricky Ponting (AUS)
Former Australian captain was the best captain that the game has seen. He retired with four ICC trophies. Ponting also retired with the second-most runs in test cricket, and he is the fourth-fastest overall, having done it in 196 innings. Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.
3. Kumar Sangakkara (SL)
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara was an underrated batter, but his numbers are certainly mind-boggling. He retired with the most runs and centuries for Sri Lanka in international cricket. The Southpaw also holds the record for the second-most test double hundreds (11) after Sir Don Bradman (12). Sangakkara reached 10,000 test runs in his 195th innings. He played 134 tests and scored 12,400 runs at an average of 57.40 and the best of 319. The Southpaw scored 38 centuries and 52 half-centuries in total.
2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)
The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar is the second-fastest batter overall. Sachin retired with the most runs, centuries, half-centuries, and matches in test cricket history. That tells something about his longevity. Sachin played 200 tests and scored 15921 runs at an average of 53.78 and a best of 248 not out. He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.
1. Brian Lara (WI)
Brian Lara was one of the best batters that West Indies produced in this game. The left-hander holds the record for the highest test individual score and is the only batter to cross the 370-run mark twice in an innings. Lara reached 10,000 test runs in the 195th innings. Overall, he scored 11953 runs in 131 tests at an average of 52.88, with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.

Sachin Tendulkar is the fastest Indian batter to reach 10,000 Test runs.

Steve Smith surpasses Rahul Dravid to become the fifth-fastest batter to reach 10,000 Test runs.
