Sri Lanka could play semi-final in Colombo

Sri Lanka's chances of hosting a semi-final match hinge on their draw in the tournament and the performance of Pakistan. If the home team faces any opponent other than India, the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will be their venue of choice. This development is significant for Sri Lankan cricket, as it would allow them to leverage the home crowd advantage in a crucial knockout stage of the tournament. However, the conditions also depend on Pakistan's ability to progress to the semi-finals; should they secure a spot, Sri Lanka will have to adjust their expectations regarding the venue. The semi-finals are a critical phase in any tournament, and securing a home advantage could be pivotal for the Sri Lankan team's success.
