Rain Threatens Play on Days 3 and 4 of India-Sri Lanka Second Test in ColomboPreviousNext

The India vs Sri Lanka second Test in Colombo faces significant rain interruptions on Days 3 and 4, with forecasts predicting high chances of precipitation and overcast conditions. India leads after scoring 503/9 declared, while Sri Lanka's batsmen, including Sonal Dinusha, are resisting in the second innings. Rain delays have already shortened play, affecting India's chances of enforcing a follow-on and securing a win, as weather remains a key factor in the match's outcome.
