India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 Final today at the R Premadasa Stadium. It has been touted by some as a rematch of the Asia Cup 2010 Final, where the Men in Blue had defeated the islanders by 81 runs.
Incidentally, Asia Cup 2010 was the last 50-over Asia Cup tournament to be hosted by Sri Lanka. Dambulla hosted the final that year, but it is Colombo that plays the host this year. The pitch in Colombo is slow and favorable for the spinners.
