Bangladesh through to semi-final after washout against China
Bangladesh will now take on the winner of India vs Japan in the semi-final
Bangladesh have secured a spot in the semi-finals of the Women's Asian Games 2026 after their quarter-final match against China was washed out. The game, which was the opening clash and first quarter-final of the Asian Games, was abandoned without a single ball being bowled due to the outfield being wet. Bangladesh advanced to the next round based on their superior seeding.
The women's games of the tournament began with the quarter-finals, featuring matches on Thursday and Friday. Following Pakistan vs Thailand on Thursday, Malaysia vs Sri Lanka and India vs Japan will be played on Friday. The semi-finals are set for September 20 and the final for September 22, both to be held at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan, located in the outskirts of Nagoya. The men's tournament will commence on September 24.
