India stormed into the men's cricket final at the Asian Games 2026 after defeating Sri Lanka by 124 runs in the semi-final on Thursday. Batting first, India posted 169/7, led by Ishan Kishan's unbeaten 80 off 46 balls. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also contributed 38 runs off 21 deliveries. India's bowlers then dismantled Sri Lanka's batting line-up, dismissing the team for just 45 in 9.5 overs. Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel took two wickets each. India will now face Pakistan in Saturday's gold medal match. The Indian men's team will aim to secure gold after the women's team defended their title last month. (PC: NDTV)
