India vs Pakistan Asian Games 2026 final: Scorecard snapshot and where to watch
India scored 211/6 in 20 overs against Pakistan in the Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket final on Saturday, October 3, setting a target of 212 for the gold medal. At a match-centre check at approximately 1:20 p.m. India time, Pakistan were 92/3 after 11.2 overs. That is a snapshot, not a continuously updating live score; the chase may have moved on since that check.

Pakistan needed another 120 runs from 52 balls at that point, with seven wickets in hand. The figures describe the state of the match when checked, not its final result. Readers looking for the next delivery, a wicket-by-wicket account or a completed scorecard should use a live match centre rather than treat this snapshot as an automatic update.
India won the toss and chose to bat at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan. Abhishek Sharma gave the innings its early momentum with 61 from 28 balls. Tilak Varma then finished unbeaten on 51 from 22 balls, while Shivam Dube contributed a rapid 27. Their late scoring took India past 200 and left Pakistan requiring more than 10 runs an over across a full 20-over chase.

The match began at 10 a.m. India Standard Time on October 3. Its scheduled venue is in Japan, so a search for “India at Pakistan” does not describe where this game is being played. It is an Asian Games men’s T20 international final, not an Asia Cup fixture; older India–Pakistan scorecards from other competitions will not show this match’s innings.
How the teams reached the final
Both sides had rain-affected quarter-finals. India advanced after its match against Afghanistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled, then beat Sri Lanka by 124 runs in the semi-final. Ishan Kishan made an unbeaten 80 as India posted 169/7; Sri Lanka were dismissed for 45.
Pakistan’s quarter-final against Hong Kong, China was also washed out. Pakistan then defeated Bangladesh by six wickets in a shortened semi-final, reaching a target of 112 in 11.3 overs. Hasan Nawaz and Abdul Samad completed that chase with an unbroken partnership. Those semi-final figures are background to the October 3 final, not part of its scorecard.
India entered the final as the defending men’s cricket gold medallist. At the previous Asian Games, held in 2023 under the 2022 Games name, rain prevented play in the final against Afghanistan and India received gold on the applicable seeding rule. This time, India put a completed first-innings total on the board; the October 3 medal result depends on Pakistan’s chase.
