Asia Cup 2023 Super-4 Matches, Final Likely to be Shifted to Hambantota

Colombo: The Super Four matches and the final of the Asia Cup 2023 are likely to be shifted from Colombo to Hambantota due to heavy rains in the capital.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to announce the decision soon.

The move comes after India’s matches in the tournament have already been affected by rain. The India-Pakistan clash in Kandy and the match against Nepal in Colombo were both disrupted.

Hambantota has been experiencing a drought in recent weeks and is considered to be a drier location than Colombo.

The Rajapaksa Stadium in Hambantota was not initially included in the Asia Cup schedule, but it is now likely to host all five Super Four matches and the final.

The decision to move the matches to Hambantota is a positive one for the tournament, as it will help to ensure that the matches are played uninterrupted.
