China Women’s Cricket Team Exits 2026 Asian Games After Rain-Forced Washout
China's women's cricket team was eliminated from the 2026 Asian Games without playing after their quarter-final against Bangladesh was abandoned due to persistent rain and a wet outfield at Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin. According to tournament rules, Bangladesh advanced to the semi-finals as the higher-ranked team. This marked China's third Asian Games cricket appearance since 2010. Bangladesh will likely face India in the semi-finals, with other quarter-finals involving Pakistan, Thailand, Japan, and Sri Lanka also underway.
