Nepal Advances to Asian Games Cricket Quarterfinals After Rain Halts Japan's Chase
In the Asian Games men's cricket competition, Nepal advanced to the quarter-finals after Japan's chase was abandoned due to persistent rain. Nepal scored 149 for four in 15 overs, with unbeaten half-centuries from Sundeep Jora and Lokesh Bam. Despite weather interruptions, Nepal's late batting surge set a challenging target. Japan showed promising performances earlier but were eliminated after the rain prevented them from starting their innings in the first-round match against Nepal.
