Original: Asian Games: Gold medal to be shared if cricket final is washed out

The ruling affects India, one of the finalists, who were strong favourites for gold. The prospect of a washout and a shared medal has become a talking point among cricket fans ahead of the match.
Why now: Weather threatens the Asian Games cricket final, raising the unusual prospect of two teams sharing gold.
