IND W vs JPN W, Asian Games 2026 Live Streaming: India Women will take on Japan Women in the fourth quarter-final of the Women’s Asian Games 2026 at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on September 18. India will enter the competition at the quarter-final stage, while Japan will be looking to make the most of their home advantage and secure a place in the semi-finals.

The Indian team comes into the tournament with confidence after winning the Women’s Asia Cup 2026. They will be led by experienced captain Harmanpreet Kaur, with Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma adding plenty of international experience to the squad.

Japan, meanwhile, will be captained by Mai Yanagida. Playing in familiar conditions could give the hosts confidence, but they will face a tough challenge against an Indian side packed with established performers.

India Women and Japan Women have not previously played a T20 international against each other. As a result, this quarter-final will mark their first meeting in the T20 format.

That makes the contest an interesting one, particularly for Japan, who will be hoping to make an impact against one of the tournament’s experienced teams.

The match between Japan Women vs India Women will be telecast on Sony Sports Network, DD Sports and SonyLIV for live streaming.

The Korogi Sports Park pitch is expected to offer something for both batters and bowlers. Batters may need to spend some time at the crease before taking greater risks, as stroke-making could become easier once they adjust to the conditions.

Bowlers who maintain consistent lines and lengths could find some assistance, while variations in pace and changes of length may also prove useful.

Batters looking to attack from the beginning could face some risks if the bowlers hit the right areas. A first-innings score in the region of 130-140 could provide a competitive total, although a strong batting performance could see the score move beyond that mark.

India Women: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Gunalan Kamalini, Bharti Fulmali, Richa Ghosh (w), Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Shree Charani, Kranti Gaud, Nandani Sharma, Radha Yadav, Renuka Singh Thakur, Shreyanka Patil.

Japan Women: Mai Yanagida (c), Haruna Iwasaki, Akari Nishimura Kano, Shimako Kato, Erika Oda, Hinase Goto (w), Ahilya Chandel, Kurumi Ota, Ayumi Fujikawa, Elena Kusuda Nairn, Nonoha Yasumoto, Meg Ogawa, Seika Sumi, Erika Toguchi Quinn, Ayaka Kato-Stafford.
