The Asian Games 2023 is set to be a grand spectacle for cricket enthusiasts. The event, taking place in Hangzhou, China, will feature both men's and women's T20 cricket tournaments. With top-seeded teams like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh entering directly into the quarter-finals, the stage is set for some thrilling cricket action. Cricket was part of the Asian Games in 2010 and 2014 but was absent in 2018. The sport is making a comeback after a five-year hiatus, adding to the excitement and anticipation.
The women's T20 cricket event will take place from September 19 to 25. Like the men's tournament, top-seeded teams have been granted direct entry into the quarter-finals. The remaining teams are divided into two groups, and after round-robin matches and a quarter-final qualifier, the fixtures for the top eight will be set.
