The ACC Under-19 Asia Cup semifinal between India and Sri Lanka in Dubai is under threat from persistent rain. India's U19 team has been in dominant form, securing large victories against UAE, Pakistan, and Malaysia to top Group A. Their strong batting and bowling performances have instilled significant momentum heading into the knockout stage.
Sri Lanka's U19 side also reached the semifinals by navigating through Group B. They secured wins against Nepal and Afghanistan, the latter in a close contest, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure. Despite a loss to Bangladesh in their final group match, Sri Lanka's earlier successes were enough to guarantee their semi-final berth.
Tournament regulations will come into play if the crucial India-Sri Lanka match is washed out without a result. In such a scenario, India would advance to the final based on their first-place finish in Group A, highlighting the importance of group stage performance in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
