Rain could end Nepal’s Asian Games medal hopes

With no reserve day, Nepal will bow out if rain cancels their quarterfinal against higher-ranked Sri Lanka, a rule coach Stuart Law calls ‘brutal’ for Associate nations.

Rain has continued in Nagoya, Japan, for two days. If it does not let up on Tuesday, it will likely lead to the cancellation of the quarterfinals fixture between Nepal and Sri Lanka. In that case, the Rhinos will have to bow out of the tournament.
