India vs Japan Asian Games Women LIVE: Charani strikes four as Japan bowled out for 57

India's bowling attack dominated host nation Japan in their women's cricket quarterfinal at the Asian Games in Nisshin. 5 overs.

Shree Charani led the charge by claiming four dismissals, while Shafali Verma collected two wickets. Opening batter Kano offered the lone meaningful resistance for the hosts, registering a team-high 24 runs.

The Indian squad entered the tournament fresh off an unbeaten Asia Cup title run, which included five victories against Thailand, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. During India's subsequent pursuit of the 58-run target, Kamalini was dismissed without scoring and Fulmali also departed.

The winner of the knockout fixture is scheduled to meet Bangladesh in Sunday's semifinal.
