Asian Games Advances Men's Cricket Knockout Match Timings by 30 Minutes
The Asian Games 2026 men's cricket knockout matches, including India's quarter-final on September 28, will start 30 minutes earlier at 1:30 pm local time (10 am IST) to avoid disruptions from early darkness and the absence of floodlights at the venue. This adjustment also applies to the second semi-final and gold-medal match, while morning games and women's match timings remain unchanged. Indian Olympic Association officials have not yet been informed of these changes despite updates on the official website.
