Rain almost washed out the opening game between Bangladesh and China — now India’s women’s cricket team faces Japan under cloudy skies in the Asian Games quarterfinals.

The match is happening at Korogi Athletic Park, one of only two venues in Japan with a proper grass pitch for international cricket. Weather forecast? 18% chance of rain, partly sunny, 31°C; but even a slight drizzle could change everything. If no ball is bowled, India; the higher-ranked team; automatically moves to semifinals. It’s not just a game; it’s a high-stakes weather gamble. The pressure’s on players… and the sky.
