Rain forecast raises concerns for Asian Games 2026 men's cricket knockouts
Summary

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.
