The original match day could have been extended by 90 minutes in order for a result. After the first rain break, the ground was almost ready with the umpires just waiting for one patch of the ground to dry.

The weather forecast is pretty similar on Monday in Colombo, with chances of thunder showers and precipitation ranging between 40-50%.
