The Indian team was due to face Afghanistan in the quarter-final, but rain washed out the contest without a ball being bowled. India progressed to the last four as the higher-seeded team. Sri Lanka also reached the semi-finals without completing their quarter-final after their match against Nepal was abandoned due to rain.
This means both teams head into the semi-final without having played a completed knockout fixture in the tournament. Sri Lanka will be captained by Sahan Arachchige. The winner of this contest will face the winner of the other semi-final between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the final on October 3, while the losing teams will compete for the bronze medal. As per our IND vs SL My11Circle prediction, the men in blue will be the clear favourites to move into the gold medal match.
