Pakistan's men's cricket contingent at the ongoing Asian Games has advanced to the semifinals of the tournament following their quarterfinal encounter with Hong Kong, which could not be played owing to inclement weather. The Pakistani team, led by captain Sahibzada Farhan, had been placed directly into the quarterfinal stage of the competition. However, unfavorable weather conditions prevented the scheduled match between Pakistan and Hong Kong from taking place as planned. As a result of the washout, Pakistan has progressed to the next round of the tournament. The development means Hong Kong has been eliminated from the Asian Games cricket competition. Pakistan will now await their semifinal assignment as the tournament progresses through its knockout stages.
