What happens if rain washes out India vs Pakistan Asian Games 2026 final? Gold medal rule explained

India and Pakistan will share the gold medal if rain washes out the men's cricket final at the 2026 Asian Games. Under the updated regulations, T20I rankings will not be used to decide a winner if the match at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin is abandoned without a result.

India advanced to the final after defeating Sri Lanka by 124 runs, while Pakistan reached the gold medal match by beating Bangladesh in a rain-affected semi-final. The clash marks the first meeting between the two rivals in men's cricket at the Asian Games.
