Both Teams Share Point After Rain‑Driven Cancellation in Asian Games Cricket
The women’s cricket quarter‑final at the 2026 Asian Games between Bangladesh and China was cancelled due to rain, resulting in each side receiving a single point. The match was scheduled for 05:30 IST at Korogi Sports Park, but the outfield remained water‑logged, and a toss could not be held.
Officials waited for the playing surface to recover, yet the weather persisted, prompting the cancellation. The shared point reflects the inability to complete the contest.
Bangladesh entered the game with a higher probability of victory, making the loss of a potential win a setback for the team. Both team sheets were announced: Bangladesh’s lineup included Dilara Akhtar, Juaira Firdous, Sobhana Mostari, and wicket‑keeper Nigar Sultan; China’s roster featured Zhen Lili, Sun Meng Yao, Mingue Zhu, captain Hang Zhuo, and keeper Ji Mei.
The next quarter‑final clash, Pakistan versus Thailand, will also be played at Korogi Sports Park and may be affected by the same adverse conditions. Pakistan is viewed as the favorite if the encounter proceeds.
