Rain caused a delay in the toss for the winner-takes-all Super Four clash at the Asia Cup between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Colombo on Thursday. This match serves as a de facto semi-final, and the victor will face India in the final of the 50-over tournament, which serves as a precursor to the ODI World Cup beginning in October.
The regional tournament, co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka due to India's refusal to tour Pakistan due to political tensions, has been significantly affected by rain. India's Rohit Sharma-led team has already secured a place in the final scheduled for Sunday, having won both of their Super Four fixtures against Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
For Pakistan, this match is essentially a semi-final, as India has already secured a spot in the final by winning both Super Four matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
In their Super Four encounters, both Sri Lanka and Pakistan have experienced mixed results, each winning one and losing one. They both managed to defeat Bangladesh, but Sri Lanka currently holds a slight advantage with a higher Net Run Rate (NRR)
