Pakistan has secured a spot in the Asian Games 2026 cricket semifinal after the quarterfinal match against Hong Kong was called off due to incessant rain. The game at Korogi Sports Park was abandoned without any balls being bowled. Pakistan's advancement to the semi-finals is credited to their superior ICC T20I ranking, while Hong Kong were eliminated without ever taking the field.
This marks the second time these two teams have faced each other in this format, with Pakistan emerging victorious in both matches. The Asian Games cricket match between Pakistan and Hong Kong has been called off due to persistent rain, meaning Pakistan will face the winners of Tuesday's quarterfinal between Bangladesh and Malaysia.
