India men's cricket team arrives in Nagoya, set to face Afghanistan in Asian Games quarterfinal

Persistent rain in Nisshin forced the quarterfinal off, sending India into the semifinals on a higher T20I ranking, officials said.

  • On Monday, September 28, 2026, the Asian Games men's cricket quarter-final between India and Afghanistan at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin was abandoned without a ball bowled due to persistent rain.
  • Persistent rain at the venue disrupted several prior matches, including group-stage fixtures involving Malaysia, Oman, Japan, and Nepal, leaving the outfield too wet for play to begin.
  • Led by captain Shreyas Iyer, the top-seeded Indian side entered the tournament aiming to defend the gold medal they won at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou.
  • India advances directly to the semi-finals as the higher-ranked team under tournament rules, while Afghanistan has been eliminated from the competition.
  • The semi-final is scheduled for October 1 at Korogi Sports Park, with the gold-medal match set to conclude the tournament on October 3.
