Rain Disrupted the Road to the Semi-Finals
The Asian Games cricket knockout stage has been heavily affected by rain.
India's scheduled quarter-final against Afghanistan was abandoned, while Sri Lanka's quarter-final against Nepal was also washed out without a ball being bowled. The higher-ranked teams consequently advanced to the semi-finals.
That means both India and Sri Lanka enter the semi-final without having played their respective quarter-final matches.
