India vs Pakistan final: What happens if rain washes out Asian Games gold medal clash?

India and Pakistan will share the gold medal if rain washes out their Asian Games men's cricket final in Nisshin. Unlike the 2023 edition where higher-ranked India won gold following a washout, the 2026 tournament regulations state both teams will be declared joint gold medalists if no result is achieved.

Weather forecasts indicate a 62 percent chance of morning rain on Saturday in Nisshin. Shreyas Iyer's Indian side reached the final after a 124-run semifinal victory over Sri Lanka, where they posted 169/7 before dismissing Sri Lanka for 45.
