SL vs BAN: Colombo Weather Forecast
Colombo has been witnessing heavy rainfall over the past few weeks, and according to the weather forecast, it doesn’t seem like the city will catch a break in the coming days. From the 9th of September to the final day of the tournament on September 17th, there is a consistent probability of more than 50% chance of rain every day in Colombo. The situation looks particularly bleak for the match scheduled on September 9, as there is around 90% likelihood of rain disrupting the SL vs BAN Super 4 clash.
The match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh is set to kick off at 3:00 pm IST. Rain is expected to persist throughout the day, and the skies are likely to remain overcast with a significant amount of cloud cover. These conditions raise concerns about an elevated risk of rain becoming a potential spoiler for what should be an exciting cricket clash between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
It appears that the game may struggle to even start, and if it does manage to start, it’s likely to be affected by those frustrating rain interruptions. To compound matters, the humidity levels are expected to soar, reaching a staggering 94%, making conditions uncomfortable for players and spectators alike. The wind, on the other hand, will be slow, barely registering at 15 km/h.
