Indian cricket team will look to forget the sour memories of their Bangladesh tour where some controversial umpiring decision and below the belt acts by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur didn’t go down well and they will again face Bangla women, this time in the semi finals of Asian Games. The team will be led by Smriti Mandhana as skipper Kaur is still serving a two match ban and is expected to lead the team if they play the finals.
India men’s football team will be up against Myanmar and a win will guarantee them an entry to the knockouts while the women team will be up against Thailand and the match will be a virtual knockout between the two sides as the winner will progress to the next round.
Indian volleyball team will face a stern test from WR 6- Japan in the men’s 1-6 classification match and a win here will guarantee them a semi final spot but they have to play out of their skin to beat Japan, who are defending Asian games champion. Indian men’s hockey team will also start its campaign against a low lying Uzbekistan.
