HT Evening Brief October 2: India shines at Asian Games, Dipke launches CJP protest 2.0 in Mumbai and more
Here are the top headlines from the day covering India, the world, sports, and entertainment.
India will face Pakistan in the Asian Games 2026 men's cricket final at the Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Saturday, October 3, 2026. The match will start at 10:00 AM IST, with the toss occurring half an hour earlier at 09:30 AM IST.
India emerged victorious against Sri Lanka in the previous round, while Pakistan defeated Bangladesh. For the final, India made changes to their batting lineup, replacing regular openers with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, and Sanju Samson at the top of the order. Ishan Kishan moved from the middle to the lower order. The Jharkhand player Shreyas Iyer scored a remarkable 80, propelling India to a commendable total.
Considering the sluggish pitch conditions, India relied on a single frontline seamer, Shivam Dube, for pace if necessary, and it proved effective as Pakistan was dismissed for 45 runs.
Indian viewers can catch the live telecast of the match on Sony Sports 1, Sony Sports 3, and Sony Sports 4. For those who prefer online streaming, the SonyLIV app and website offer access to the live match, provided there is a valid subscription.
