Asian Games 2023 Quarterfinal 1: India vs. Malaysia Highlights: Due to rain, match is postponed; IND-W go to semifinals
The Asian Games 2023 has been a thrilling spectacle of sportsmanship and competition, with athletes from across Asia showcasing their skills and determination. The quarterfinal match between India and Malaysia in the women’s cricket tournament promised to be an intense battle. However, Mother Nature had other plans as heavy rain forced the match’s postponement. Despite the weather interruption, India’s women’s cricket team advanced to the semifinals due to their superior performance in the group stage. Let’s take a closer look at the highlights and implications of this unexpected turn of events.
Anticipation Builds for India vs. Malaysia Clash
As the Asian Games 2023 progressed, cricket enthusiasts and fans of both India and Malaysia eagerly awaited the quarterfinal clash between the two teams. Both sides had shown their mettle in the group stage, with India winning all of their matches and Malaysia displaying commendable performances to secure their place in the knockout stage.
The stage was set for an exciting match, and fans were prepared to witness a battle between bat and ball, with players aiming to outshine each other on this grand sporting platform.
Rain Forces Match Postponement
Unfortunately, just when the anticipation was at its peak, heavy rain began to pour over the cricket ground, leading to an inevitable delay in the start of the match. Ground staff and officials worked tirelessly to drain excess water from the pitch and outfield, but the persistent rain made it impossible to play.
Despite several attempts to resume the game, the weather remained uncooperative, ultimately forcing the match to be postponed indefinitely. This left fans disappointed, as they had been looking forward to witnessing the on-field rivalry between India and Malaysia.
India Advances to Semifinals
While the rain disrupted the much-anticipated contest, the rules and regulations of the Asian Games cricket tournament came into play. As per the tournament format, the team that had performed better in the group stage would advance to the semifinals if a knockout match was unable to take place. In this case, India’s dominant performances in the group stage secured their passage to the semifinals.
This outcome disappointed Malaysian fans who had hoped to see their team in action in the knockout stage. Nevertheless, it showcased the importance of consistent performances throughout the tournament and how they can influence a team’s fate in case of unforeseen circumstances like inclement weather.
Looking Ahead
The postponement of the quarterfinal match between India and Malaysia is a reminder that, in the world of sports, external factors like weather can sometimes play a pivotal role. While it may have been a disappointing turn of events for cricket fans, it highlights the resilience and adaptability required in the world of sports.
As India’s women’s cricket team advances to the semifinals, they will be eager to maintain their winning momentum and clinch the gold medal. For Malaysia, it’s an opportunity to regroup and come back stronger in future tournaments, building on the experience gained in the Asian Games 2023.
In the end, sportsmanship prevails, and the Asian Games 2023 continues to be a celebration of unity, competition, and the unbreakable spirit of athletes from across Asia, regardless of the weather-related setbacks that may come their way.

Lionel Messi’s final jab at Cristiano in a million-dollar text message for Lyon’s Argentina player: “Don’t listen to Ronaldo”
French club Lyon stoked the flames of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in their announcement video for Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada.
With the January football transfer window currently open and clubs across Europe looking to add talent to their rosters for the run-in in the second half of the season, French team Olympique Lyonnais have made the exciting signing of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Almada joins on an initial loan from Brazilian club Botafogo, but his announcement was made in style in the latest in a long line of iconic transfer videos.
The 23-year-old midfielder’s signing was announced through a video shared by Lyon in which he receives a text message from ‘Lionel’ along with a goat emoji, clearly meant to be the legendary Lionel Messi, Almada’s compatriot and teammate in the Argentine national team. The text sent to Almada in this video reads “Don’t listen to Cristiano, Ligue 1 is incredible.”
Lyon’s retribution for Ronaldo’s comments
The text provides a sneaky tongue-in-cheek remark from the seven-time French champions, who are referencing Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comment regarding Ligue 1 being a weaker competition than the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plies his trade for Al Nassr. Ronaldo had claimed there was a better standard of football in Saudi Arabia, with the French league considered the weakest of the ‘top five’ leagues in Europe.
Messi, meanwhile, spent two years playing in France, having spent a period in the capital with Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Barcelona. Messi was the latest star at PSG, playing alongside Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, before the trio was broken up as they left France with Messi heading to Inter Miami, Neymar to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe finally getting his marquee move to Real Madrid.
Almada was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, helping Messi finally get his hands on the coveted trophy and firmly setting his status as the greatest of all time in stone. Almada has represented Argentina six times, scoring twice, and finally earned a move to Europe after playing for Atlanta United in the MLS and a brief spell in the Brazilian Serie A at Botafogo. Almada will be joining fellow Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico, who also made a cameo appearance in the announcement video.
Lyon currently sit in sixth place in the Ligue 1 table with half the season concluded, but will have intentions of fighting for spots in next year’s UEFA Champions League with a strong end to the season, in which Almada could play an important role.
