India vs Pakistan: Sun shines on Lanka tourism, economy

COLOMBO: (Feb 15) Rehan Fernando is excited during a 20-minute drive to the Premadasa — not precisely by the thoughts of an India vs Pakistan match that keeps millions of fans busy across the stadium, living rooms, pubs and social media.

“I am going to get a lot of Uber requests on Sunday for stadium drop-offs and pick-ups. Need to keep Suzuki Every fuelled and ready for the rush hours,” Fernando sing-songs.

The 41-year-old, a father of two, knows that Sunday alone can add substantially to his wallet.
