Asian Games 2026: India women face Japan in cricket quarter-final

India's women's cricket team enters the knockout stage as the Asian Games continue in Nagoya.

India's women are scheduled to face Japan in a cricket quarter-final at the 2026 Asian Games.

Why it matters

Knockout cricket creates a different challenge from a bilateral series because teams have limited room for recovery and must adapt quickly to conditions.

What to watch next

Bangladesh have already advanced to the women's semi-finals after their quarter-final against China was abandoned because of a wet outfield.

The useful context

India's quarter-final result will determine the next stage of the tournament.
