None of the four quarterfinal matches saw a coin toss, allowing Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka to qualify for the semifinals by virtue of their superior international rankings against quarterfinal opponents. Sunlight broke through in Nagoya on Wednesday, allowing the Litton Das-led Bangladesh squad to conduct their first proper outdoor practice session since arriving in Japan. Speaking after training, batsman Yasir Ali Chowdhury Expressed relief at the improving conditions while acknowledging that rain remains a major threat. According to tournament rules, if a semifinal or super over is abandoned due to inclement weather, the higher-ranked team will automatically advance to the final—a scenario that favors Pakistan against Bangladesh and India against Sri Lanka. The first semifinal is scheduled for 6:00 AM BST on Thursday, followed by India versus Sri Lanka at 10:30 AM BST.
