India vs Bangladesh Super 4 match rain updates live: India win toss and field as rain stays away in Colombo
India have won the toss and decided to field first in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. There is no rain around as of now, so the match is set to start on time.
This will be the sixth and last game of the Super 4 stage, with the final to be played at the same venue on Sunday.

But, with the ODI World Cup coming up, the match provides a chance for both teams to try out some things. As such, they would like the weather to hold good.
While there are chances of weather interruption during play, journalist Vimal Kumar tweeted at 10:16 AM that the morning weather in Colombo seems fine. He also tweeted a video in which it was clear that there was no rain around.
