By Charlie On Sep 9, 2023

The Men in Blue will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday, September 12 in Colombo, while their match against Bangladesh is scheduled for Friday, September 15 at the same venue.

Bangladesh is desperate to win their ongoing fixture against Sri Lanka. After losing the first game in the Super Four stage against Pakistan, Shakib Al Hasan’s men must win this encounter in Colombo to stay competitive in the competition.

India has yet to play a match in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup. Meanwhile, head coach Rahul Dravid and other members of India’s coaching staff have traveled to the R Premadasa Stadium to witness the match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The Men in Blue will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday, September 12 in Colombo, while their match against Bangladesh is scheduled for Friday, September 15 at the same venue. However, before these two encounters, Rohit Sharma and his team will be focused on winning Sunday’s high-voltage clash against arch-rivals Pakistan. The first encounter between these two sides ended in a No Result due to rain in Pallekele.

There is a threat of rain once again, as the forecast for September 10 is not promising. Cricket enthusiasts will be anxiously waiting and hoping for the match to take place, as India versus Pakistan encounters are rare nowadays for obvious reasons.

KL Rahul was selected for the Asia Cup 2023 squad, but it was later confirmed by Dravid that the wicketkeeper-batter would miss the first couple of Group A encounters. Prior to the Pakistan clash in Colombo, Rahul practiced wicketkeeping for close to 45 minutes in the nets on Friday.

He was also put through some unique wicketkeeping drills, and he seemed to excel in them. It will be interesting to see if the management decides to bring in Rahul for the in-form Ishan Kishan, who scored a brilliant 82 runs off 81 balls the last time these two sides met.
