Asian Games cricket: India to face Sri Lanka in semis after all QFs washed out

Persistent rain in Nagoya caused the abandonment of all four men's cricket quarter-final matches at the Asian Games, setting up the penultimate round matchups based on prior international rankings. Top-seeded India will square off against Sri Lanka after the island nation advanced past Nepal, while Pakistan is set to collide with Bangladesh following the washouts of their respective fixtures against Hong Kong and Malaysia.

The upcoming semi-finals are scheduled for Thursday, with the Indian squad led by captain Shreyas Iyer and coached by VVS Laxman preparing for their tournament debut after their initial contest against Afghanistan was called off without a ball being bowled.
