Colombo Weather Forecast
For the match on Tuesday, 10 February, forecasters have indicated a zero per cent chance of precipitation during the playing hours. However, teams will have to contend with 99 per cent cloud cover and high humidity levels, which are expected to hover around 64 per cent to 74 per cent. This atmospheric moisture could lead to heavy dew later in the evening, potentially impacting the grip for spinners and the ease of fielding.

The Sinhalese Sports Club is well-regarded for its efficient drainage and its "full cover" facility, which allows the entire playing area to be shielded from sudden downpours within minutes. Ground staff remain on standby, but given the current trajectory, the match is expected to be the first full 20-over game played under lights at the venue this tournament.
