women's cricket

India's and Sri Lanka's women's cricket teams are facing each other in a final, with fans following the match through live chat and real-time commentary. The fixture has drawn nearly a million engagements as supporters of both sides discuss the game as it unfolds. Reaction so far centres on the teams' performances and the stakes of the final.

Organisers of the Asian Games cricket competition have confirmed that if the men's or women's gold medal final is washed out by rain, both finalists will be awarded a shared gold medal. There is no reserve provision for a complete tie beyond this arrangement, meaning the sport could produce joint champions. The unusual rule has drawn attention as weather threatens matches during the multi-sport event.
