India’s three-day warm-up match against Sri Lanka XI in Colombo is expected to face disruptions from rain, with wet weather forecast across the match days. According to reports, heavy showers are expected from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon, which could reduce the amount of time available for playing and affect scheduled practice before the start of the two-Test series. The warm-up is part of India’s preparation for the first Test against Sri Lanka, which is set to begin in Galle. With rain likely during the warm-up window, both teams may have to manage shortened sessions and adjust plans for batting, bowling, and fielding practice. The impact of the forecast will depend on how frequently and how long the showers occur during the daily playing hours. The match outcome is not the focus of the coverage; the reports center on whether the weather allows sufficient on-field preparation ahead of the opening Test.
