Rain causes disruption at Asian Games
Due to severe weather conditions, including heavy rain and a cyclone, many events at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya were disrupted or postponed, especially on the ninth day of competitions. One of the most notable impacts was the cancellation of the quarter-final cricket matches between Pakistan and Hong Kong, and India and Afghanistan, because Korogi Stadium was flooded. As a result, Pakistan and India automatically advanced to the semi-finals based on their rankings, while Afghanistan lost their chance to participate. Additionally, Typhoon Noru (Surgi), which struck Okinawa, caused the suspension of several events, including some equestrian competitions. The weather is expected to continue deteriorating, further impacting the tournament schedule.
