Who goes to semifinal if India vs Afghanistan Asian Games match is washed out?

Who goes to semifinal if India vs Afghanistan Asian Games match is washed out?

The India women's cricket team recently secured their gold medal at the Asian Games, prompting the men's team to defend their title in a quarterfinal match against Afghanistan. However, the match's outcome may be compromised due to heavy rainfall in Nagoya, where the Korogi Sports Park lacks floodlights and has seen reduced visibility despite dry spells.

Two previous matches, Nepal vs Japan and Malaysia vs Oman, were abandoned due to adverse weather conditions. The Indian team, ranked 1st in the world, could secure a semifinal spot automatically if the match is washed out, as Afghanistan is currently at 10th place in the ICC rankings.
