India Women Begin Asian Games Gold-Medal Defence Against Japan

India’s women’s cricket team is playing in the Asian Games.

They won the gold medal at the last Asian Games.

Now they want to win it again.

Their first match is against Japan on Friday.

Japan is hosting the event.

The match will be held at Kōrogi Sports Park in Nisshin.

Harmanpreet Kaur is India’s captain.

If India wins, the team will play Bangladesh in the semi-final on Sunday.

Bangladesh reached that stage after its match with China was washed out.
