Pakistan settle for Asian Games cricket silver after losing final to India

Sunday, 4 October 2026, 06:25 · 1 min read

Pakistan finished second at the Asian Games men's cricket final in Nisshin, Japan, falling 19 runs short of India's target of 212 and ending on 192 for six. Hasan Nawaz struck 96 from 51 balls but was caught off the last ball, four runs shy of a century, after Pakistan had slumped to 39 for three early in the chase. India had been powered by Abhishek Sharma's 61 and an unbeaten 51 from Tilak Varma, while Sri Lanka took bronze by beating Bangladesh (the Asian Games are a multi-sport event held every four years across the continent).
