Where To Watch The Match
You can always stand outside a TV showroom, but if you have a TV you can catch the match on Star Sports (Dialog TV and PEO TV) or on Rupavahini (terrestrial).
If you're looking for places to watch, we'd usually say Playtrix, but they're having some liquor license issues. Until that's resolved, try Manchester Pub, Cheers, Cricket Club or any of the major hotels.
