NAGOYA - Pakistan’s women’s cricket team secured a bronze medal at the Asian Games on Tuesday, defeating Bangladesh by 31 runs in the third-place play-off as the Aichi-Nagoya Games continued to produce record-breaking performances across several sports. Pakistan’s medal came on a day when Japan’s 17-year-old swimming sensation Yumeki Kojima captured the spotlight by winning the men’s 400-metre individual medley in a Games-record 4:07.02. Kojima also set a new world junior record, surpassing the previous Asian Games mark held by Japanese great Kosuke Hagino. French Olympic champion Leon Marchand, who was conducting a swimming clinic at the venue, watched the teenager’s impressive performance.

China’s 13-year-old Yu Zidi remained another major attraction in the pool after winning her second individual gold of the Games. Her compatriot Peng Xuwei added another swimming title by taking the women’s 200m backstroke in an Asian-record 2:05.77. China also produced a world record in shooting, with Olympic champion Sheng Lihao and Wang Zifei combining for 507.1 to win the 10m air-rifle mixed team gold. Sheng collected his third gold of the Games. India, meanwhile, ended their wait for a first gold medal as their women’s cricket team defeated Sri Lanka by 147 runs in the T20 final, with veteran opener Smriti Mandhana scoring 79. Afghanistan also celebrated a landmark moment when Fariba Hashimi won silver in the women’s road cycling event, securing the country’s first cycling medal won by a woman. Earlier, Pakistan kabaddi and men’s hockey teams registered their second consecutive victories. The kabaddi team defeated Nepal 58-43 in Group B, following a 65-22 rout of Malaysia in its opening match. The hockey side also made it two wins from two, beating Uzbekistan 5-1 after a 9-0 victory over Thailand. Away from the competition, logistical issues continued to generate controversy. South Korean officials criticised arrangements for athletes, while organisers apologised over reported accommodation and operational problems.
