Asian Games 2023 Women's Cricketsemi-final - IND-W vs BAN-W LIVE: After a long time, women’s cricket will return to the Asian Games on September 19 in Hangzhou. The last time cricket was played at the Asian Games was back in 2014. The women's T20 cricket event will take place from September 19 to 25. Like the men's tournament, top-seeded teams- India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh, have been granted direct entry into the quarter-finals.
Pakistan won both gold medals in the women’s category, at Guangzhou in 2010 and at Incheon in 2014. There was no cricket at Jakarta-Palembang 2018.
After rain caused multiple stoppages in the men's Asia Cup, rain also abandoned the women's team's debut at the Asian Games.
The India vs Malaysia women's cricket qualifier 1 match in Hangzhou was called off due to rain on Thursday. Malaysia played only two deliveries before rain returned again. The rain was much heavier and it was not possible for play to resume. The match was called off. India, however, advanced to the semi-final.
The game between Indonesia and Pakistan got washed out completely due to rain and the match between Bangladesh and Hong Kong got abandoned without a ball bowled. Sri Lanka-led by Chamari Athapaththu won their game against Thailand by eight wickets.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka are coming into this tournament on the back of a winning momentum. While Pakistan registered a clean sweep against South Africa at home in a three-match T20I series recently, the Chamari Athapaththu-led island nation defeated England 2-1 in a three-match T20I series in England.
The summit clash of the tournament will be played on Monday, September 25 and the third-place fixture will also be organised on the same day.
India will compete with Bangladesh on Sunday (Sep 24) at 6:30 am IST.
Pakistan will compete with Sri Lanka on Sunday (Sep 24) at 11:30 am IST.
Fans in India will be able to watch the match live on Sony Sports Network on the Sony Sports Ten 1 SD (English), Sony Sports Ten 1 HD (English), Sony Sports Ten 3 SD (Hindi), Sony Sports Ten 3 HD (Hindi), Sony Ten 4 SD (Tamil and Telugu), and Sony Ten 4 HD (Tamil and Telugu).
