New Venue For Asia Cup 2023
Due to heavy rains in Sri Lanka, the Super Four stage matches of Asia Cup 2023 are likely to be shifted from Colombo.
According to the reports of the Indian media, there has been heavy rain in Sri Lanka for the past few days, due to which the matches of the Asia Cup are also affected.
The match between Pakistan and India played in Pali Kele yesterday could not be completed due to heavy rain and was ended without result.
The Asia Cup 2023 is being played under a hybrid model, with Pakistan and Sri Lanka jointly hosting the event.
The matches of the Super Four stage of the tournament are to be played in Colombo, but due to the monsoon season, Pallekele and Colombo have been under the spell of heavy rain for the past five days and meteorologists have predicted that the rains will continue.
There was some hope that at least the rains would stop in Colombo and the conditions would be suitable for the matches, but the heavy downpour in the Lankan capital is now forcing the Asian Cricket Council to reconsider its decision.
The first match of the Asia Cup in Colombo will be played on September 9 and the ACC is concerned about the weather conditions in the city. According to Indian media, ACC is expected to take a decision regarding the transfer of matches in a day or two.
