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.

Bangladesh advanced to the next round based on their superior seeding.

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.
