KATHMANDU: Nepal’s Asian Games campaign came to an unfortunate end on Tuesday without a single ball being bowled after persistent rain washed out their scheduled quarterfinal clash.
With the match called off, Sri Lanka advanced directly to the semifinals by virtue of their superior ICC T20I ranking—where they hold 9th position compared to Nepal’s 14th.
Nepal had previously reached the quarterfinals as Group ‘A’ winners with three points, having secured a five-wicket victory over Afghanistan in their opener before their second fixture against host nation Japan ended in a no-result.
