According to information reaching us the opening ceremony will be starting just 30 minutes before the first match starts which should be at midnight today local time. The ESPN Star Sports Singapore feed schedule indicates that the opening ceremony is a 30 minute event just prior to the first match. We are unable to confirm whether any broadcaster either pay or free to air will be airing this event in Sri Lanka.
