1.15pm Well, that was quick. The match has been abandoned due to heavy rain. India are through to the semi-finals. India will face one of Sri Lanka and Nepal in the semis now. That'll be all from us today from today's Asian Games matches. Thanks for tuning in, and hopefully the weather will get better for the remaining games!

We already have news that the toss has been delayed due to rain.

1pm It's the second quarter-final of the men's Asian Games 2026 cricket event, and it's India beginning their title defence against a second-string Afghanistan side. Of course, there is a heavy rain threat that looms over today's contest. The first quarter-final, which was to take place earlier today, was washed out, with Pakistan going through to the semis courtesy a better ranking than Hong Kong. Should this game also get washed out, it will be India through to the semis. Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's live coverage of this game from Nisshin. I'm Abhimanyu and I'll be bringing you all the action from today's match along with Karthik Krishnaswamy.
