Rain has disrupted a men’s cricket match at the 2026 Asian Games for the sixth consecutive occasion. Rain in Nisshin cancelled the third and fourth quarters on Tuesday, preventing Sri Lanka and Nepal from playing, followed by Bangladesh and Malaysia. Nevertheless, the outcome of the match was declared. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh had advanced to the semifinals by the identical rule in the previous two quarterfinals. The matches between Sri Lanka and Nepal and Bangladesh and Malaysia never started because it was raining all morning in Aichi-Nagoya, in contrast to Monday’s India-Afghanistan quarterfinal, which was called off due to a soggy outfield. The umpires declared both matches to be abandoned after a short wait.
