India will fight for another Asian Games gold medal in final on October 3.
The Asian Games 2026 cricket competition has reached its final stage, with the men’s tournament set to decide its gold medal winner. Several teams entered the competition with hopes of making it to the final, but only two sides will now compete for the gold medal.
India are the defending champions in men’s cricket and came into the tournament with Shreyas Iyer as their captain. India’s quarter-final against Afghanistan was washed out due to rain. As India were the higher-ranked team, they moved into the semi-finals without playing the match.
India then faced Sri Lanka in the second semi-final, with a place in the final at stake. India won the match and secured their place in the gold medal match.
India have now booked their place in the final after beating Sri Lanka in the semi-final. With India through to the final, the next question is which team they will face for the gold medal.
