India vs Afghanistan Asian Games cricket clash hit by rain
Original: india vs afghanistan
World T20 champions India face Afghanistan in the Asian Games 2026 men's cricket quarter-final in Nisshin, Japan, with heavy rain and a typhoon alert threatening washouts across the knockout stage. Pakistan's match has already been cancelled, creating a scheduling logjam, and India could claim gold without a ball bowled if play is abandoned. Shreyas Iyer said his side must stay mentally prepared for weather disruptions.
Why now: A high-profile knockout between two top cricket teams is at risk of being decided by rain and typhoon conditions.
