The men's cricket knockout rounds of the 2026 Asian Games commence today at Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin. The weather forecast indicates a 96% chance of rain during the quarter-finals, raising the possibility of washouts. Such washouts would mean matches could be decided by ICC T20I rankings, a situation that has already occurred earlier in the tournament during the women's competition. Following today's matches, weather conditions are expected to improve, with a much lower likelihood of rain for the final on October 3.
