Asian Games cricket final: gold shared if washout
Original: Asian Games: Gold medal to be shared if cricket final is washed out
Organisers of the Asian Games cricket competition have confirmed that if the men's or women's gold medal final is washed out by rain, both finalists will be awarded a shared gold medal. There is no reserve provision for a complete tie beyond this arrangement, meaning the sport could produce joint champions. The unusual rule has drawn attention as weather threatens matches during the multi-sport event.
Why now: Weather threatens the cricket finals, and the prospect of two countries being awarded joint Asian Games gold medals is an unusual and notable outcome.
