Asian Games 2026, PAK vs BAN Semifinal 1: एशियन गेम्स मेंस क्रिकेट टूर्नामेंट का चौथा क्वार्टर फाइनल भी बारिश की वजह से रद्द कर दिया गया है, जिससे मलेशिया का टूर्नामेंट में सफर समाप्त हो गया है, तो वहीं बांग्लादेश ने सेमीफाइनल में जगह बना ली है। अब उसका सामना पाकिस्तान से होगा। बांग्लादेश पिछली बार का ब्रॉन्ज मेडलिस्ट है, तो वहीं पाकिस्तान को पिछली बार खाली हाथ लौटना पड़ा था। लेकिन अब वह बांग्लादेश को हराकर कम से कम सिल्वर मेडल अपना सुनिश्चित कर सकता है।

Potchefstroom [South Africa], September 29 (ANI): Australia suffered a double injury blow ahead of the third and final ODI against South Africa, with fast bowler Nathan Ellis ruled out with a side strain and left-arm spinner Joel Davies set to return home after sustaining a hamstring injury.

Ellis, who has been Australia’s standout bowler on the tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa, suffered the left side strain after bowling four overs during the second ODI in Johannesburg. He did not return to complete his spell as South Africa went on to post 365 and seal the three-match series 2-0, according to Cricinfo. milkshakeslot.lat

The pacer will return to Australia for further assessment and rehabilitation, with the hope of recovering in time for the home ODI series against England, beginning on November 13.

Ellis is the second Australian fast bowler to suffer a side strain on the tour after Billy Stanlake was sidelined during the second ODI in Zimbabwe.

Asian Games 2026: The four semifinalists in the Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket event have been decided without a single ball being bowled in the quarterfinal matches over the last two days. Just like Monday when India and Pakistan booked their place in the last thanks to rain leading to wash-outs, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have joined them in the semifinals on Tuesday.

Sri Lanka were set to face Nepal in the third quarterfinal while Bangladesh were taking on Malaysia in the fourth semifinal game at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Tuesday. But both these matches were abandoned without a ball getting bowled, just like the first two quarterfinal matches on Monday.

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have now progressed into the men’s cricket semifinals, according to the rules and regulations in the Asian Games 2026. In case of a wash-out where the winner cannot be determined, the higher seeded team – in this case Sri Lanka and Bangladesh – will progress into the semifinals.

Shreyas Iyer’s Team India will now take on Sahan Arachchige-led Sri Lanka in the second semifinal match at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Thursday, October 1. The first semifinal will be a clash against Pakistan and Bangladesh and the winners of both these matches will be assured of at least a silver medal.

What will happen if Asian Games 2026 semifinal are washed out as well?

While the weather prediction for Nisshin for later this week looks much brighter, but the fans will be wondering who will progress into the gold medal match if the Asian Games 2026 semifinals are also washed out by rain.

The rules at the Asian Games 2026 state that once again the higher seeded team will march into the gold medal match if the semifinals are washed out or abandoned due to rain and wet weather. India are the number one seed and by this right, they will progress into the semifinal if their match on Thursday is abandoned.

Pakistan are also the higher seed as compared to Bangladesh due to their T20I rankings which determined their seedings. If the first semifinal is washed out due to rain, then Pakistan will enter the gold medal match set to take place on Saturday, October 3.

Who will win gold medal if Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket final is washed out?

There is a major change in Asian Games 2026 rules as compared to the 2023 edition in Hangzhou. In Asian Games 2023, Team India had won the gold medal when their final against Afghanistan was washed out due to rain.

But in 2026 edition, if rain or wet weather washes out the gold medal match on Saturday, then both the finalists will get the gold medal. The same scenario will take place in the bronze medal match on Saturday morning as well.
