Games-Sri Lanka and Bangladesh advance as rain washes out cricket again
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported12m ago
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have advanced to the next stage of the Asian Games cricket tournament after persistent rain washed out scheduled matches in Nagoya. Nepal's quarter-final match against Sri Lanka was abandoned without a single ball being bowled.
Because the match could not be completed, Sri Lanka progressed to the next round based on the tournament's higher-ranking rule. This weather-forced elimination prematurely ends Nepal's campaign in the Asian Games cricket competition.
