Cricket heavyweights India and Pakistan have advanced to the Asian Games semifinals after rain forced organizers to abandon two scheduled quarterfinal matches on Monday. Defending champion India advanced over Afghanistan, and Pakistan advanced over Hong Kong in results determined on the basis of world rankings. Shreyas Iyer and his India squad featuring stars such as pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah and 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi haven’t had to play yet in the tournament.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were seeded for the Asian Games, and only joined in the quarterfinal stage. India will play either Sri Lanka or Nepal in the semifinals, and Pakistan will meet either Bangladesh or Malaysia.
