India will face Sri Lanka in the 2nd semi-final of the Men’s Asian Games 2026 at Korogi Sports Park, Japan, on 1 October. The quarter-final matches for both India and Sri Lanka were washed out due to rain, and both teams qualified for the semi-finals based on their higher rankings.
Shreyas Iyer is leading the Indian team, with the batting responsibilities falling on the shoulders of Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Tilak Verma. Meanwhile, Sahan Arachchige captains the Sri Lankan team, which has entered the tournament with a balanced squad.
