India and Sri Lanka are set to face each other in an Asia Cup 2023 final on Sunday in Colombo at the R Premadasa Stadium.
The venue has already been in the news for the wrong reasons after the India - Pakistan game last Sunday was halted by rain, forcing it to be played on the reserve day on Monday.

However, the latest India versus Bangladesh match went on unhindered which is a good omen before the title decider.
