Semifinal 2 of Cricket at the 2026 Asian Games takes place at Korogi Athletic Park (5,000 capacity) in Nisshin, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, on October 1, 2026, with first ball at 2:00 PM JST (UTC+9). The two teams competing are the winners of Quarterfinal 2 (Pakistan vs Group A Runner-up) and Quarterfinal 4 (Bangladesh vs Group A Winner). A bronze medal is guaranteed for both sides; the winner advances to the Gold Medal Match.

Pakistan and Bangladesh meeting in the Asian Games semifinal would constitute one of the most followed T20 fixtures in Asia. Both nations have passionate cricket cultures, large diaspora populations worldwide, and a competitive history across bilateral series and ICC events that makes this a clash of considerable cricketing and cultural significance.

Korogi Athletic Park is a 5,000-capacity venue in Nisshin, east of Nagoya, purpose-built for cricket at the 2026 Asian Games. The afternoon session on semifinal day brings the day’s second and final match, with the gold medal finalists from this side of the bracket confirmed by evening.

A 2:00 PM JST first ball translates to 10:30 AM IST in India, 5:00 AM GMT in London, 4:00 PM AEST in Sydney, and 1:00 AM EDT in New York.

If an unexpected result occurred in one of the quarterfinals, a qualifier nation could be present in this semifinal. Any Associate nation reaching the last four of the Asian Games cricket competition would represent a landmark in global cricket development and an extraordinary moment for the sport’s growth beyond its traditional strongholds.

Both semifinal losers on October 1 meet again in the Bronze Medal Match on October 3, with the Gold Medal Match also taking place that day.
