Rain continued to disrupt the men’s cricket tournament at the Asian Games 2026, with all four quarter-final matches washed out without a ball being bowled. A day after India’s clash against Afghanistan and Pakistan’s match against Hong Kong were abandoned, Sri Lanka’s quarter-final against Nepal at Nisshin on Tuesday was also called off due to persistent rain and a wet outfield. Bangladesh’s quarter-final against Malaysia suffered the same fate.Sri Lanka and Bangladesh advanced to the semi-finals on the basis of their higher seedings in the ICC T20I rankings. The four teams were among the seeded sides, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, that received direct entry into the quarter-finals. With the quarter-final matches unable to take place, the higher-ranked teams progressed to the last four.Bangladesh will now face Pakistan in the first semi-final on Thursday, October 1, while defending champions India will take on Sri Lanka in the second semi-final later the same day. The weather could again play a decisive role in the semi-finals. If either match is abandoned without a result, the team higher in the ICC T20I rankings will advance to the final.Pakistan are ranked higher than Bangladesh, while India are ranked higher than Sri Lanka. Therefore, if both semi-finals are washed out, Pakistan and India would progress to the gold-medal match.Have India and Pakistan faced each other in the Asian Games final?An India-Pakistan final would be one of the most anticipated fixtures of the tournament, given the intense rivalry between the two sides. However, the two teams have never faced each other in an Asian Games final or, in fact, played against each other at the Asian Games. The two sides most recently met at the 2026 T20 World Cup, where India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs.There is also a possibility of India and Pakistan meeting in the bronze-medal match in Nagoya. However, that would require both teams to lose their respective semi-finals. The bronze-medal match and the gold-medal final are scheduled to be played on October 3.
