Japan Women (JPN W) take on India Women (IND W) in the fourth quarter-final of the Asian Games Women’s Cricket Competition 2026 at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Friday, September 18.

Japan Women have endured a difficult run in their recent matches, with one win and three defeats in their last five games, along with one abandoned fixture. They will face a formidable India side that has won each of its last five matches. India will look to maintain their winning momentum and secure a place in the semi-finals.

India have several in-form players in their ranks. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have been among their leading run-scorers, while Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma have consistently delivered with the ball. Japan, meanwhile, will rely on Ayaka Kato-Stafford and Mai Yanagida to provide stability with the bat.
