Rain has and continues to leave an impact on this year's Asia Cup 2023 tournament. A number of games, especially in the Super Four stage were impacted by rain and that trend continues, even in the final of the tournament. Just as the players were getting ready to enter the ground after the toss which Sri Lanka won, the downpour began and the groundsmen, as they have been so far, were once again phenomenal and quick to cover the ground to ensure that no damage was done to the pitch. So what if the match is washed out due to rain today? Given the forecast, there's likely to be more such interruptions, who will win this match if the match is called off today? India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Updates of Asia Cup 2023 Final.

Although rain has been frustrating for fans, they can relax knowing that there will be action and a winner determined if rain washes out play today. Earlier, it was announced that the Asia Cup 2023 tournament would have reserve days for two matches--India vs Pakistan (Super Four) and the Asia Cup 2023 Final. We saw the use of the reserve day for the India vs Pakistan match, which the Men in Blue won by 228 runs. The same would happen for this contest as well should rain make play impossible on September 17. Hence, the match would be completed on September 18 (reserve day).

India and Sri Lanka had earlier faced each other in the Super Four stage, a contest which almost went down the wire despite being a low-scoring one. Dunith Wellalage started for Sri Lanka with both bat and ball but India eventually came out on top.
