IND-W Vs JPN-W Match Prediction: For the past few editions of the Asian Games, cricket has been a part of the proceedings, with the bigger Asian sides competing for the gold along with some less prominent teams.
The 2026 Asian Games will not officially start till September 19th, but the eight-team women’s cricket tournament commenced a couple of days before, on the 17th, with all eight teams competing in the first knockout round.
The Indian Women’s Cricket Team, having recently won the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup in comprehensive fashion, are the clear favourites to win the gold medal this time around.
Despite some shaky form this year, which included them failing to make it to the knockouts in the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup at home earlier in the year, the Women in Blue are clearly the best team in all of Asia.
They will take on the Japanese Women’s Cricket Team in their first knockout round match, which is also the last quarterfinal match, with other teams having played there before this one.
Japan is one of, if not the weakest team in this competition. However, they are the hosts, as the 2026 Asian Games are being played in the Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya, Japan. They will be looking to cause what will be the biggest upset in this entire event, including the other sports.
