India vs. Sri Lanka Asian Games 2026: Live Score & Updates

Hello everyone, and welcome to the live blog for the India vs. Sri Lanka Asian Games 2026 semi-final from Nisshin.

Toss result:

Sri lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first.

Pre-match:

India arrive at this semi-final without having bowled a single ball in the knockout stage so far. Their quarter-final against Afghanistan was washed out entirely, with India advancing on their superior ICC T20I ranking rather than through any result on the field.

Sri Lanka reached the same stage in the identical way, with their quarter-final against Nepal also abandoned without a toss. Neither side has played a competitive match at this venue since the group stage concluded, leaving both teams short of genuine match rhythm heading into the biggest game of the tournament so far.

India are expected to field the near-full-strength T20I squad built around the group that won this year’s T20 World Cup, with Jasprit Bumrah among the headline names.

Shreyas Iyer, appointed India’s T20I captain earlier this year, would move a step closer to his first major title in the role with a win here. Sri Lanka, by contrast, have brought a considerably changed squad, led by Sahan Arachchige, who has played just one T20I in his career.
