Attention now turns to the Asian Games - That brings us to the end of a shortened but nail-biting contest, where Japan came agonisingly close to pulling off the unthinkable, only for India to hold their nerve and come up with the goods when it mattered most. Both sides will now turn their attention to their respective Asian Games campaigns. Japan begin with their opening game against Afghanistan on Thursday, 24 September, at 12 am GMT (5.30 am IST), while India have a little more time to prepare with a direct entry into the quarter-finals. Their quarter-final is scheduled for Monday, 28 September, beginning at 4.30 am GMT (10 am IST). As always, you can join us early for all the build-up to both matches. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
The victorious skipper of India - Shreyas Iyer collects the trophy from one of the dignitaries and poses for a few photographs. On the crowd at Sano and how significant it is to play cricket in Japan, Shreyas first congratulates India and Japan on their 75 years of diplomatic relationship. Says it was a long trip for them from Tokyo. Even reduced to five overs, he is simply glad a game happened. On the contest itself, he calls it an exciting one, and doesn't hold back in praising Japan for a genuinely brilliant showing of their own. Turning to his leadership role, Iyer reflects that responsibility naturally brings pressure, and it is a challenge, he says, he thrives on, always eager to explore what comes with it. On their aim to win the Gold Medal at the Asian Games, he stresses the importance of taking things one step at a time, and adds that they will reach Nisshin first and then assess the conditions there, setting a standard for the side and building from that foundation as things progress.
The captain of Japan - Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming says that he is extremely proud of the team, and when you get that close, it is always a tough one to take. Adds that given that they were able to take the best team in the world to the last ball, he is not only proud of his team, but also the broader community. Mentions that hearing someone like Shreyas talk about the progression of Japan cricket is quite surreal. He also gives credit to the title sponsor Suzuki, BCCI, and JCA for organising this game. Beyond them, the volunteers, ground staff, and the Women's team everyone deserves appreciation, as without them, this would not have been possible. Fleming shares it was pure excitement that drove them into the chase, with an 'anything is possible' attitude against India’s world-class spinners Axar Patel, Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi. He acknowledges the challenge of batting on a spinning wicket but says the required rate of around 6.5 an over kept them believing that a couple of clean hits could change the game. He adds that the team was extremely proud to have taken the contest all the way to the final ball. He says there will be a few moments from the game that replay in their minds during the long bus ride to Nanjing, but the overriding feeling is one of pride. He praises 17-year-old Charlie Hara-Hinze, who has been around the men’s squad for a couple of years, saying he was unsurprised by the youngster’s performance after taking the first and fourth wickets. He also credits Ito-Davis and Takahashi for showing their ability against some of the world’s best players of spin. Looking ahead, he says reaching the knockout stages and potentially winning an Asian Games medal is definitely the goal. With only around 36 hours before their next game against another Full Member, he says the team will rest before preparing for the challenge, knowing a win in either of their next two matches could put them in contention to face another Full Member in the knockouts.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Shreyas Iyer wins the award for his valuable 16 off 12 balls. Iyer, on the adaptability and how tough it was to bat out there, admits that the ball was turning square. He explains that reading that early on, the priority became rotating the strike, taking the ones and twos wherever possible, rather than forcing the issue. His approach, he says, was simply to play each ball on its merit. He is quick to point out that this is exactly why a five-over game can swing either way, and doesn't hesitate to credit Japan for an approach he calls impeccable. He is confident that they are on the right track, and for his own side, he frames the whole experience as valuable practice on a testing surface.
Presentation Time...
A touch of class after the battle - While we wait for the presentation to get underway, the Japanese players are taking a lap around the ground to acknowledge the fans who have turned up to show their support. There is plenty of disappointment among the hosts, knowing just how close they came to pulling off a famous upset. Meanwhile, a few of the Indian players, including Jasprit Bumrah, are taking time to pose for pictures with the Japanese players and coaching staff, while also signing a few autographs for the fans. Some lovely scenes at the end of what has been a memorable contest.
A narrow escape for India - India quickly realised that spin was the way to go after experiencing the same challenges with the bat, and Axar Patel set the tone with a tidy first over, conceding just two runs. The visitors also picked up a run-out before Washington Sundar struck in his first over to keep Japan under pressure. Ravi Bishnoi was a little expensive, but Axar and Sundar kept things tight at the other end in the closing overs, doing enough to see India over the line in a game that threatened to turn into an embarrassing defeat.
A stunning bowling show - Earlier in the game, Japan stunned India with a superb bowling effort, led by their spinners, to restrict them to just 32/4 from five overs after the match was shortened. Charlie Hara-Hinze was the pick of the attack with two wickets, while Ibrahim Takahashi and Benjamin Ito-Davis chipped in with one apiece. India’s batters appeared caught off guard by a slow, turning surface and struggled to find their timing, with Shreyas Iyer’s 16 off 12 the highest score. No other Indian batter reached double figures, a rare sight for this side, particularly in this format.
The pressure tells at the finish - Chasing 33 from five overs, Japan were in early trouble at 7/2, but Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming and Benjamin Ito-Davis refused to let the game slip away, taking 10 runs off Ravi Bishnoi’s over to keep the hosts firmly in the hunt.  The pressure eventually told, though, as Japan looked for boundaries rather than settling for the ones and twos that could have been enough. Even so, they took the chase down to the final ball, needing a boundary to pull off a stunning upset, but Shirai-Patmore could not find the big moment Japan were desperately searching for.
Japan falls just short - So close, yet so far for Japan! They came within touching distance of creating history, but India survived a huge scare to get their Asian Games campaign off to a winning start. Full credit to the hosts for their incredible fight and determination against the World Champions, but the Men in Blue had just enough in the end to hold their nerve and get over the line.

Swings hard, but cannot connect cleanly. Japan were so, so, so, close to create history, but unfortunately, it wasn't to be. INDIA WIN BY 2 RUNS! Though not before being made to huff and puff for it. Fuller in length, on the middle and leg stump line. Shirai-Patmore goes low and goes for the sweep but gets it off the inside half of the bat, and the ball rolls to short fine leg for a single only. What a thriller this turned out to be at Sano! And what a way for Japan to introduce themselves on debut against India. Handshakes out in the middle now, and there's visible relief on Indian faces at having dodged a serious upset. Japan, for all the heartbreak of the defeat, will walk away knowing they pushed the T20I champions to the brink. All told, a sensational game of cricket.

Goes flatter and shorter, outside off, Benjamin Ito-Davis stands tall and hammers it wide of long off for a single. 4 runs needed from the final ball. Any dramas?

Full and outside off, quicker one. Shirai-Patmore gets down down on a knee and slogs it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
A bit of a discussion between Shreyas Iyer and the umpires, who is clearly not happy with the decision. The wide called has now been changed to a dot ball. So, 6 needed in 3 balls now.

WIDE? Another extra conceded? Oh dear! Down leg, on a length, with a mile full of turn. Shirai-Patmore goes for the reverse sweep once more but fails to make contact. Wide is signalled again, and this time it is Axar who is absolutely fuming at the call, protesting that the batter had looked to switch his stance fairly early, well before the ball was even released. Belatedly, though, the decision gets overturned, and it is ruled a fair delivery after all.
India Women strike Gold - India Women have clinched the gold medal in emphatic fashion, bowling Sri Lanka out for just 69 to complete a huge 147-run victory. After Smriti Mandhana’s 79 and Shafali Verma’s 48 laid the platform, Richa Ghosh provided the late fireworks with an unbeaten 49 to take India to 216/3. With the ball, it was once again the spinners who did the damage, squeezing Sri Lanka out of the chase. Deepti Sharma led the way with three wickets, while the others chipped in at regular intervals. It was a complete performance from India, with the batters setting up a daunting total before the spinners finished the job to seal another Asian Games gold.

WIDE! Samson is not very impressed with the decision as it came a tad belatedly. Good length, down leg, and turning further away. Shirai-Patmore goes for the reverse sweep but is beaten on the edge.

Slides in on a length, on middle and leg, and turns away with bounce. Benjamin Ito-Davis has a big hoick across the line, looking to loft it over the leg side but misses and the ball passes over the stumps.
This is becoming an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Japan need 8 runs in the final over. Axar Patel has the job of defending them. Also, Shirai-Patmore comes out to the middle.

वॉशिंगटन सुंदर To केंडल कडोवाकी-फ्लेमिंग OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The Japanese skipper falls. Washington darts this one in, quick through the air and landing just outside off. Fleming looks to muscle it back over the bowler's head once more, but doesn't connect the way he wants to, and the ball skies off the leading edge, straight into the safe hands of short third where Yash Thakur takes a dolly. Japan are 25/3, needing 8 runs from 6 balls.

Uppish but lands safely! Quicker and flatter, shorter on off, Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming lofts it off the toe end of the bat, over mid off. Tilak Varma runs over his right shoulder and puts in a dive to pluck the ball but it falls out of his reach. The batters scamper through for the second run. 8 runs needed from 8 balls.

On a shorter length, on middle, Benjamin Ito-Davis lofts it over mid on. Tilak Varma runs to his left to cut it by palming the ball in before the ropes at long on. Two more runs taken. Good hustle between the wickets. 11 needed from 10 balls for Japan.

In the air... safe! Good work there in the deep. Good length on middle stump. Benjamin drags it away across the line, finding the gap to the left of deep backward square leg. Bishnoi dives but can't get a hand on it, and they run two.
15 needed in 12 balls for Japan. One more good over, and they will be on the verge of creating history.

FOUR! Goes past the fielder! Clever shot from the skipper. Too quick on a length, outside the off stump. Kendel shuffles outside off and plays the scoop shot over the keeper's head. The man from deep fine leg runs across and dives but his effort goes in vain as the ball seeps into the fence.

रवि बिश्नोई To केंडल कडोवाकी-फ्लेमिंग
A direct hit at the bowling end! But there is no third umpire review available to check. Fuller, a googly, outside off. Kadowaki-Fleming chops it away to short cover and they rush through for a single. Iyer swoops in to cut it off and has a shy at the bowler's end, hitting the stumps perfectly. India go up in appeal for the run out which is turned down by the umpire, it seems. The ball ricochets away to deep mid-wicket, and the batters cash in for two runs.

OUT! CAUGHT! Sundar takes revenge right away. Slows it up through the air this time and gives it a good flight. Lands it full on the stumps and the ball bits back into the batter. Ibrahim Takahashi once again opts to take on the bowler with a slog sweep, but mistimes it badly off the inner half of the bat and offers a catching practice to Ravi Bishnoi stationed at deep square leg. Japan are 7/2, chasing 33 runs.

वॉशिंगटन सुंदर To इब्राहिम ताकाहाशी
FOUR! Exceptional hit! A lot quicker and fuller from Sundar, full on middle, Ibrahim Takahashi gets low on his knee and plays with the spin. Slogs it aerially over the leg side and bisects the deep square leg and deep mid-wicket fielders to perfection for a boundary. Japan are 7/1 in the Powerplay.

Drifts in on a length and then gets the ball to dip, turn and bounce off the track. Ibrahim Takahashi gets low on a knee to slog it powerfully over mid-wicket, but the extra bounce and turn outfoxes him.
Early blow for Japan. Ibrahim Takahashi walks out to bat at number 3.

अक्षर पटेल To लैकलन यामामोटो-लेक OUT!
OUT! LACHLAN IS RUN OUT! Disaster for Japan. Incredible fielding display by Ishan Kishan. Good length, outside off, and turning away. Lachlan uses his wrists to steer it away towards deep square leg. They run the first run hard and turn back for the second. Ishan Kishan sprints to his left and fires in a rapid throw at the striker's end, hitting the target dead on. Lachlan dives desperately but comes up short of his ground. The square leg umpire doesn't even need a replay, and up goes the finger straight away. Japan are 2/1, chasing 33 runs.
