India will face Sri Lanka in the second semi-final of the men's cricket competition at the Asian Games 2026 on Thursday, October 1. The match takes place at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan, with the winner advancing to the gold medal contest. With the surface expected to assist spinners, CricTracker highlighted three key batters to watch ahead of the knockout clash.

The featured players are Indian captain Shreyas Iyer, Sri Lanka's experienced wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella, and Indian opening batter Abhishek Sharma. Iyer recently earned Player of the Match honors against Japan, while Dickwella's ability to counter spin and Sharma's explosive approach in the powerplay are projected to play vital roles.
