Asian Games 2026 Cricket Final Rules If India-Pakistan Match Is Washed Out
India and Pakistan will compete in the men's cricket final at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan on October 3. No reserve day is scheduled for the final, so if rain prevents the match from starting or completing the minimum required overs, both teams will share the gold medal with no silver awarded. If play begins but is interrupted, the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method may decide the winner. In case of a tie, a Super Over will be used, with ICC rankings as a last resort if weather disrupts the tiebreaker.
