The venues for the first semi-final and the final are subject to change, depending on Pakistan's qualification for those stages. If Pakistan reach either the semi-final or the final, Colombo will be used as the host venue in line with existing logistical arrangements. A minimum two-day gap between the semi-finals and the final has been included to allow teams sufficient preparation time.
