This section collects all of CRIC INFO 365’s coverage of the men’s cricket competition at the Asian Games 2026, played at Kōrogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan.
It was a tournament shaped by the weather. All four quarter finals were washed out without a ball bowled, so the seeded teams went through on ranking and group winners Nepal and Malaysia went home unbeaten. In the semi finals, Pakistan beat Bangladesh and India bowled Sri Lanka out for 45.
India then beat Pakistan by 19 runs in the gold medal match to win back to back Asian Games titles, despite 96 from Hasan Nawaz. Sri Lanka took bronze by beating Bangladesh by 63 runs, two days after being bowled out for 45 by India.
Here you will find our preview for every match, from the group stage to the final, plus the full tournament hub with the schedule, squads, points table and stats. Scroll down for every post.
