8.50am So the bad news is confirmed folks, it's another game washed out without ball being bowled. Sri Lanka qualify for the semi-finals by virtue of being ranked higher than Nepal, where they will face India. If the weather holds, that looks set to be a bumper game, but until then it's all from us.

Sohan Pandey: "Hi MadhushankaWhat's the latest news about the weather in Nissin?" --- Morning Sohan. Still awaiting the live broadcast on my end, so you will know as soon as I do. The online weather forecast though, promisingly, does not have rain on the horizon. Can confirm that it's bucketing now.

This is a unique opportunity for Nepal in that they come in with a pretty big win under their belts already, upsetting Afghanistan by five wickets in their Group A encounter. While Sri Lanka have a much longer cricketing history, this is very much a second-string Sri Lankan unit - though that's not to say it is without pedigree. Many of the names are those that have either played for the national side, or are hovering on the fringes - and they will be eager to give the national selectors something to ponder.

8.25am A very good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Men's Asian Games. It's the quarter-finals from Nisshin, Japan, as Sri Lanka look to better their run in 2022 when they were eliminated at the hands of Afghanistan. For Nepal, it's the opportunity for a historic scalp, as they look to face Sri Lanka for the first time in their history. But of course, we can't talk about this game without addressing the weather - yesterday's matches were abandoned without ball being bowled - so cross those fingers as we await news of the toss shortly.
