Colombo is set for persistent rain, with wet weather threatening to disrupt India's crucial three-day warm-up match ahead of the Test series. The fixture is the visitors' only opportunity to adapt to Sri Lanka's spin-friendly conditions before the opening Test in Galle. Batters and bowlers alike will be eager to make the most of the match, while head coach Gautam Gambhir has urged the squad to maximise every training session and arrive fully prepared despite the challenging weather forecast.
