Bangladesh through to Asian Games cricket semis without playing
Original: Bangladesh reach Asian Games cricket semis without playing
Bangladesh have advanced to the semi-finals of the men's cricket tournament at the Asian Games without taking the field, as reported by Bangladeshi media. The passage is understood to have come via their scheduled opponents withdrawing or a walkover, placing Bangladesh directly into the last four, where they will await the winners of the remaining quarter-final fixtures.
Why now: Bangladesh earned a semi-final spot at the Asian Games cricket event without having to play a match, an unusual outcome drawing attention.
