Asian Games 2023: Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a blistering hundred to lead India to the Asian Games 2023 semifinals but cricketers from Nepal showed a lot of promising efforts by putting up a fearless fight in their 23-run defeat here on Tuesday. Jaiswal, Indian cricket's new pin-up boy, earned the distinction of being the youngest T20I centurion from the country en route to his 49-ball-100 that took India to a healthy 202 for 4.

The men from the Himalayan nation made a match of it but lack of experience became their undoing as their innings ended at 179 for 9, ensuring a last-four spot for Ruturaj Gaikwad's men.
