The Group B men’s cricket match between Malaysia and Oman at the 2026 Asian Games on 26 September was abandoned because of rain. No ball was bowled, so there was no match winner. The result is recorded as a washout, **not** a walk-over victory for Malaysia.
The ICC confirmed that Malaysia and Hong Kong advanced from Group B to the quarter-finals, while Oman were eliminated. Malaysia’s next opponent is Bangladesh in the quarter-final scheduled for 29 September.
The abandoned match settled the group standings without a win for either team. Malaysia had already beaten Hong Kong earlier in the group, while Oman had lost to Hong Kong. The washout left Malaysia and Hong Kong as the two Group B qualifiers.
