In the men’s canoe slalom semifinal, the top eight athletes, limited to one athlete per NOC, advanced to the final. This resulted in the absurd situation where the third place finisher from Japan didn’t advance because his compatriot finished top of the semifinal and a Korean who DNFed made the final as the last of the eight competitors.

Another quarterfinal match in women’s cricket abandoned. This time, it’s the game between Bangladesh and Hongkong. Bangladesh advances to the semifinals.
