India advance to Asian Games 2026 semi-finals after Afghanistan quarter-final washed out

Continuous heavy weather prevented any play from taking place at Korogi Sports Park during the men's cricket quarter-final clash between India and Afghanistan at the Asian Games 2026. Without a single delivery bowled, tournament regulations dictated that the higher-seeded team advanced, allowing top-ranked India to eliminate tenth-ranked Afghanistan and progress into the semi-finals.

Pakistan similarly moved forward to the last four after their fixture against Hong Kong suffered a complete washout due to identical weather disruptions. India now waits to discover its next opponent, which will be decided by the impending elimination match between Sri Lanka and Nepal.
