India win their second medal in women's cricket after they beat Sri Lanka by 19 runs

Indian women score 116/7 in 20 overs, so Sri Lanka need 117 to win the gold medal

The team beat the 2018 silver and bronze medalist. Next is who beat us in 2018

Actually for group stage matches, abandoned games fetching shared points is fine, but for knockout games there should be provision for reserve days. In any case, major cricket tournaments shouldn't be held during peak rainy season as the entire ground has to be dry for a proper game

Compared to 2020, in 2024 an NOC can qualify two boats in Continental regattas instead of one. So Asian Games can be a good indicator of how quotas India can attain

Not sure of official website as of now for live results but I use flashscore for live scores, results and fixtures for many sports. The Asian Games fixtures have been listed in flashscore so fingers crossed if live scores shall be available

Why did Deepak Punia prioritize Asian Games instead of WC. Are our wrestlers so devoid of match practice that they would focus on subsequent qualification tournaments

The entire Indian contingent of 630+ athletes compiled in this video

Can Rohan Bopanna maintain his top 10 ranking till July'24 to automatically qualify. Even if he doesn't qualify automatically, is combined ranking of Rohan-Yuki enough to ensure qualification

Hi @dcro, could you kindly confirm whether it shall be or who will take the second quota in Group G of Individual Eventing. As per qualification document, NOC can get two athletes in individual eventing

You don't know the might of BCCI, India will qualify somehow 😜

USA are already 22nd in Men and 24th in Women in T20 rankings, but any group containing USA shall be to lopsided

In my opinion if cricket is included in the Olympics, huge reforms will happen in ICC and respective national cricket boards especially of India and Pakistan. Firstly ICC has to allocate more resources to Associate nations, come up with a better Future Tours Program (FTP) which shall accommodate Olympics and qualifying tournaments. BCCI can no longer operate as an NGO but has to come under Indian Sports Ministry which hopefully would mean more transparency and better governance. The BCCI's arrogance can be clearly shown in World Cup tickets fiasco. In Pakistan's case, their Prime Minister can't be patron-in-chief of PCB and there has to be regular elections to select their new Chairman. This will actually improve their cricket.

Qualification for Sprint and Keirin is as follows 1) Top 8 countries in Team Sprint shall qualify 2) Top 7 countries in Individual Sprint not qualified via Team Sprint shall qualify 3) Top 7 countries in Individual Keirin not qualified via Team Sprint shall qualify So as per Sep 5 rankings top 8 teams in Team Sprint are 1) Netherlands - 5205 pts 2) Australia - 5100 3) France - 4380 pts 4) Great Britain- 4095 pts 5) Japan - 3997 pts 6) China - 3937 pts 7) Germany - 3641 pts 8) Canada - 3300 India is at 16th rank with 1479 pts Thus countries who qualify via Individual Sprint are 1) Trinidad & Tobago - 3000 pts 2) Poland - 2850 3) Malaysia - 2470 4) Israel - 2372 5) Suriname - 2185 6) Colombia - 1684 7) South Africa - 745 (Continental quota) India has 405 pts Thus countries who qualify via Individual Keirin are 1) Colombia - 2917 pts 2) Malaysia - 2865 pts 3) Suriname - 2430 pts 4) New Zealand - 2330 pts 5) Israel - 2192 pts 6) Trinidad & Tobago - 1964 pts 7) Thailand - 1731 pts India has 594 pts So its highly unlikely that India can qualify in this Olympic cycle

Is the Saudi clubs' spending spree the reasons of creation of AFC Champions League Elite from 2024 season where clubs from only select countries can play and its extremely difficult for clubs from other countries to participate. They went the European Super League route!!

In Chess, Chinese have higher ratings than our top players. Charanjot Singh is one the top contenders in FIFA. China and South Korea regularly send teams for League of Legends and Dota2 World Championships
