India qualify for Asian Games cricket semis after match abandoned

India secured a place in the Asian Games cricket tournament semi-finals after their second quarter-final against Afghanistan was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain.

Captain Shreyas Iyer led the team through the weather disruption and will face Pakistan in the upcoming semi-final on Thursday at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin.

The tournament acts as crucial preparation for the 2028 Olympics, featuring key players like Sanju Samson and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
