After Asia Cup and Asian Games Gold medal, fans want India to win ODI World Cup 2023

Following the stellar performance of the women's cricket team, securing a gold medal, the Indian men's team mirrored their success, albeit under rain-affected conditions. Team India clinched the gold medal when the match was abandoned due to rain. It was a bit of an anti-climax, as the Men in Blue would have preferred to win the game on the field. However, they were declared winners as they held a higher ranking than their opponents, Afghanistan.

This victory marked India's 27th gold medal at the Asian Games. Bangladesh also enjoyed a double victory, claiming both bronze medals in cricket.

Observing India's gold medal triumph at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, as well as their victory in the Asia Cup, cricket enthusiasts now harbour hopes of securing the ODI World Cup in 2023.

With the conclusion of the cricket matches, the flag of India was raised during the medal ceremonies, accompanied by the national anthem. Now, attention will turn to the possibility of cricket taking the next step and becoming an Olympic sport by 2028.
