Asia Cup 2023 comes to an end today with the final taking place between India and Sri Lanka. The game will take place at R Premadasa stadium in Colombo. The weather prediction is not great for September 17, the original day of the final. However, there is a reserve day in place if it rains. India and Sri Lanka are deserved finalists, having lost just one match in the tournament so far.
India began their journey by sharing points with Pakistan after their first group game got washed out. The Men in Blue then thrashed Nepal by 10 wickets in a rain-curtailed game to qualify for the Super 4s. The Rohit Sharma and Co beat Pakistan in the first game of Super 4 by a big margin of 228 runs in a game that expanded to two days due to rain. This was the only match in the Super 4 stage that had a reserve day. India beat Sri Lanka next to qualify for the final on the basis of wins as well as healthy Net Run Rate (NRR). India lost to Bangladesh in their last Super 4 match as they rested as many as five players from the XI to give chance to the benched players.
Sri Lanka started their tournament with a win over Bangladesh whom they beat 5 wickets. They beat Afghanistan next by 2 runs to qualify for Super 4. Sri Lanka met Bangladesh again in Super 4 and beat them by 21 runs this time. They lost to India before beating Pakistan by 2 wickets in a virtual semi-final to qualify for the final.
