Asian Games: Left Column Finally Has A Medal, Says India Coach Muzumdar On Gold Win
Amol Muzumdar: India womens cricket team head coach Amol Muzumdar said the teams successful title defence at the 2026 Asian Games could trigger a run of gold medals for the country after India defeated Sri Lanka by 147 runs in the final at Nagoya on Tuesday. India, which retained the womens cricket title from the previous edition, posted 216/3 before dismissing Sri Lanka for 69. The victory gave the country its first gold medal of the 2026 edition. It came after a campaign shaped by a demanding international schedule, unfamiliar playing conditions and a short turnaround between matches. Its been fantastic. Im really happy that you know that finally that left-hand side column (Gold) has got one medal and Im sure post this, therell be a streak of Gold medals for India at the Games hereon, Muzumdar told IANS after Indias second successive Asiad gold. The result followed Indias recent Asia Cup triumph in Dubai, with Muzumdar underlining the physical and tactical adjustments players needed as they moved from one tournament to another. Every tournament has got its own significance; every tournament has got its own pressures. The demands are different. So I guess it wasnt easy going into Dubai and winning the Asia Cup. The humidity level over there was very high, and the conditions were tough, but you know, hats off to every player; they stuck at it, and they showed very good performance in the Asia Cup in Dubai. But coming from Dubai straight into Japan, straight to Tokyo and then to Nagoya, its been a fabulous journey for everyone. There were demands of this tournament as well. We didnt know what conditions we would get over here. There was a hybrid pitch, and they adapted to the pitch conditions and the overhead conditions really well. Indias batting set the tone for the final. Smriti Mandhana struck 79 from 45 deliveries, Shafali Verma made 48 off 29, and Richa Ghosh added an unbeaten 49 from 22 balls. The combined effort took India to the highest total recorded in womens cricket at the Asian Games. Muzumdar said the teams preparation window between matches also helped the players settle into the conditions before the decisive stages of the competition, stating, Yeah, we did. We played a game on 18th, and then we had a break on 19, and then we played the semifinals on the 20th. So we had a couple of days' break, and we used it really well. The bowlers then completed the victory, with Deepti Sharma taking three wickets and Shafali Verma and Sree Charani claiming two each. Sri Lankas chase never gathered momentum as India maintained pressure throughout the innings. Away from the field, Muzumdar said the team had also enjoyed its time in Japan, particularly the hospitality and local cuisine. I enjoyed Japan. I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the food here. Im a foodie, as I said before, so I enjoyed the food here too. We explored the city and the food. Its been fantastic so far in Japan. For Muzumdar, the celebrations will be the culmination of a preparation process that began well before the Asian Games. He credited the players and support staff for sustaining their effort through the campaign. I enjoyed Japan. I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the food here. Im a foodie, as I said before, so I enjoyed the food here too. We explored the city and the food. Its been fantastic so far in Japan.

Asian Games: With cricket still a relatively unfamiliar sport for many Japanese fans, the Asian Games organising committee has come up with a simple and illustrated guide to help spectators understand the basics of the game and enjoy the action at the venue. The two-page guide, distributed among Japanese fans, explains everything from the number of players and the format of a T20 match to scoring, dismissals, umpiring signals and how to read the scoreboard. The guide begins with a basic introduction to cricket, explaining that it is played between two teams of 11 players and that the T20 format adopted at the Asian Games consists of 20 overs per innings, with each match lasting around three hours. For spectators new to the sport, the guide explains how batting and bowling teams alternate innings, with the team scoring the most runs declared the winner. It also explains that an innings can end earlier if 10 wickets fall. A large illustrated section introduces the cricket ground and different positions, including the bowler, batter, wicketkeeper, umpire, fielders and wicketkeeper standing behind the stumps. The organisers have also explained the three basic ways of scoring runs running between the wickets, four runs when the ball reaches the boundary after bouncing, and six runs when the batter clears the boundary without the ball bouncing. One of the most useful sections for first-time spectators covers the different ways a batter can be dismissed. The guide illustrates run out, bowled, stumped, hit wicket, caught and leg before wicket (LBW), using simple graphics and brief explanations. Umpiring signals have also been included, explaining calls such as four, six, no-ball, bye, out and wide. The guide aims to make it easier for spectators to follow the officials decisions during the match.

Asian Games: Pakistan Women Bag Bronze After Beating Bangladesh In Third-place Clash
Korogi Sports Park: Pakistan women bagged a bronze medal after beating Bangladesh in the third-place clash by 31 runs at the Korogi Sports Park here on Tuesday. In a rematch of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medal playoff, the Women in Green this time avenged the medal they conceded to the fellow Asian side with an impressive all-round performance.

Nahida Akter, Shorna Akter and Ritu Moni picked two wickets each as Bangladesh had a strong middle phase before Sana took over to post a decent total. Bangladesh were in early trouble as they lost three wickets for just 20 in 4.1 overs. Nigar Sultana and Sharmin Akhter put up a fight; however, they could not keep up with the required rate and could only reduce the defeat margin as they lost the bronze that they won after beating Pakistan last time in the third-place fight. Wicketkeeper-opener Gull Feroza and Shawaal Zulfiqar gave a decent start to the innings with their 46-run stand for the opening wicket, although the latter struggled with the scoring rate having made 17 from 27 balls, while Feroza scored a 23-ball 31. The Bangladeshi side stormed back with regular wickets as they sent down Pakistan from 46/0 to 67/5 with Shorna Akter, Nahida Akter, Ritu Moni and Akter Meghla doing the damage.

And the bowlers backed them well, with off-spinner Hani taking three wickets, including two of the first three to plot Bangladesh's downfall. She removed Juairiya Ferdous and Sobhana Mostary as Sultana was left to do the tough job of keeping with the run rate and keeping wickets in hand. However, Sana came to the rescue yet again as she partnered for a 67-run stand for the sixth wicket with Aliya Riaz, who also made 25 from 22 deliveries.

Digital Desk | Ichinomiya City, Sep 22 (IANS) Indian youngster Unnati Hooda lost the second tie of the women's team quarterfinal against Akane Yamaguchi here at the Ichinomiya City Municipal Gymnasium as Japan are leading India 2-0. Unnati was leading 11-10 at the break in the first game, but the Indian lost momentum, allowing the Japanese shuttler to make a comeback and take the opening game 21-16. The Indian was leading 11-4 in the second game, but as the finish line approached, she was trailing 15-16, and the Japanese didn't let the Indian come back in the game, wrapping up the match by taking the second 18-21. Now the onus is now on the women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand to keep India's hopes alive in the quarterfinal as they are taking on Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto. Earlier in the first rubber, after rallying to win the first game in a tie-break, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu lost 21-23, 21-18, 21-11 against three-time world champion Yamaguchi.

In the second game, fighting back from 12-17 down, Sindhu has reeled off a burst of quick points to close the gap to 16-18. Yamaguchi immediately responded to the nudge ahead 19-16, only for Sindhu to unleash a smash that the Japanese player failed to retrieve.

The physical toll of the gruelling exchange started to show on Sindhu early, who trailed 4-11 at the mid-way mark. The contest ended for Sindhu in an 11-21 defeat. Indias women have won just one Asian Games team medal, a bronze at the 2014 Incheon Games. In the 2023 edition, Indian women bowed out in the quarterfinal after losing 0-3 to Thailand.
