India and Pakistan finally meet for an Asian Games gold medal, something that has never happened before in all the years these two teams have played each other. The final gets underway at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Saturday, and for once the weather report is getting almost as much attention as the team sheets.
Shreyas Iyer's India arrive on the back of a crushing semifinal win, bowling out Sri Lanka for just 45 after posting 169 for 7. Pakistan, led by Sahibzada Farhan, got here the harder way, grinding out a rain hit six wicket win over Bangladesh. Both sides know Saturday could turn into a weather story as much as a cricket one.
