In a major disappointment for the Bangladeshi expatriates gathered at Korogi Athletics Park in Nagoya, the Bangladesh men's cricket team suffered a crushing 63-run defeat against Sri Lanka in the Asian Games bronze medal match, returning home without a medal for the first time in the tournament's history.

Chasing a target of 166 on Saturday (October 3, 2026), Bangladesh's batting lineup unravelled rapidly. Both openers fell for ducks in the opening two overs, while captain Litton Das recorded a golden duck on his very first ball. Four Bangladeshi batters registered zero-run dismissals as the top and middle order gifted their wickets through poor shot selection. No. 9 batter Nasum Ahmed top-scored for Bangladesh with 26 runs, while Yasir Ali Chowdhury (21) and Parvez Hossain Emon (20) offered brief resistance before the team was bowled out for 102 runs in 17.3 overs. Sri Lanka's disciplined bowling effort was spearheaded by Nuwan Thushara, Tharindu Ratnayake, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, and Wanuja Sahan, who picked up two wickets apiece to seal the bronze medal.
