Sri Lanka face the Group B Winner at Korogi Athletic Park (5,000 capacity) in Nisshin, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, on September 29, 2026, with first ball at 9:00 AM JST (UTC+9) in Quarterfinal 3 of Cricket at the 2026 Asian Games. Sri Lanka are one of the four seeded nations entering the competition directly at the quarterfinal stage, with a history of Asian Games cricket participation dating back to the tournament’s earlier editions.

Sri Lanka’s T20 international squad blends experienced campaigners with emerging talent. As a Full Member nation with a long tradition in Asian cricket, Sri Lanka are among the favoured sides for a medal and will approach the knockout stage with considerable ambition.

Korogi Athletic Park is a 5,000-capacity venue in Nisshin, east of Nagoya, converted from a baseball facility into a purpose-built cricket ground for the 2026 Asian Games. The second day of quarterfinals opens with this morning fixture.

A 9:00 AM JST first ball translates to 5:30 AM IST in India, 12:00 AM GMT in London (midnight), 11:00 AM AEST in Sydney, and 8:00 PM EDT the previous evening in New York.

The Group B Winner arrives having topped their preliminary group, dispatching UAE, Oman, and Japan across two matches. For an Associate nation to have topped their group is a significant achievement, and facing Sri Lanka in the quarterfinals is the reward. Sri Lanka’s experience of pressure matches in ICC events and Asia Cup tournaments gives them a proven edge in do-or-die knockout cricket.
