Asian Games 2026: All Team Malaysia medal winners – full list

AICHI-NAGOYA, JAPAN, 24 SEPTEMBER 2026 —

Team Malaysia has not yet secured a medal in the 2026 Asian Games held in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, as the competition enters its sixth day with the men’s cricket tournament yet to commence.

While the women’s cricket final was recently concluded, the men’s event, a key discipline for the region, is scheduled to kick off later in the Games, leaving the full list of Team Malaysia medal winners currently empty.

The 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games mark a significant chapter in the sport of cricket’s integration into the continental multi-sport showcase. Cricket’s journey at the Asian Games has been characterized by steady growth since its debut at the 2010 Guangzhou Games, where the Olympic Council of Asia introduced Twenty20 cricket to engage South Asia’s vast fanbase. The sport was present at Incheon 2014 but was absent from the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang edition.

It returned with significant momentum at Hangzhou 2023, drawing packed venues and full-strength regional squads, which confirmed its permanence on the continental calendar. Pakistan and Bangladesh share the record for the most total Asian Games cricket medals across men’s and women’s competitions in all editions, highlighting the competitive depth of the sport in the region.

In the women’s cricket category, the gold medal clash was a repeat of the Hangzhou 2023 final, pitting defending champions India against Sri Lanka at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin. Harmanpreet Kaur’s India thrashed Sri Lanka by 147 runs to clinch the gold medal, securing their second consecutive title in the discipline. Sri Lanka women were presented with the silver medal following their defeat in the gold medal clash.

The women’s third-place playoff featured Bangladesh and Pakistan, with the Pakistan women winning the clash by 31 runs to claim the bronze medal. This result shows the continued dominance of South Asian teams in the women’s cricket event, with India defending both gold medals they won in Hangzhou 2023.

The men’s cricket competition, which is yet to start, is expected to draw significant attention as India returns as defending champions. The sport’s inclusion in the Asian Games has provided valuable exposure for smaller associate nations while allowing regional heavyweights to compete for a prestigious new title.

The Aichi-Nagoya edition promises to be no different in terms of viewership and engagement, with the men’s event poised to be one of the most watched disciplines at the continental showcase. The delay in the men’s competition means that any potential medal opportunities for Team Malaysia in this high-profile sport remain pending, keeping the national contingent’s medal tally at zero for now.

Meanwhile, the sixth day of the 2026 Asian Games began with a sensational performance by the Indian contingent, which won two medals within the opening hour. The first came in rowing, where Satnam Singh and Salman Khan secured a third-place finish in the men’s double sculls final, clocking 6:13.25.

They finished 3.48 seconds behind the winners, Yi Xudi and Nie Yide of China, and 2.76 seconds behind Mekhrojbek Mamatkulov and Pavel Sorin of Uzbekistan, who earned silver. This was Satnam Singh’s second medal at the Asian Games, having previously won bronze in the men’s quadruple sculls team in 2022.

India’s medal haul continued in wushu, where Roshibina Devi won the silver medal in the women’s 60kg Sanda category. This marked her second consecutive silver at the Games and her third-straight Asian Games medal haul. Devi lost to Zhang Xiaoyu of China by a 2-0 scoreline, with the rounds ending 0-5, 2-6, 3-6, 2-6, 2-8 and 2-10, 3-8, 3-7, 3-7, 1-6.

In shooting, Parinaaz Dhaliwal and Anant Jeet Singh Naruka won India’s eighth medal of the year with a bronze in the mixed team skeet event.

In athletics, Seema Kumari won bronze in the women’s 10,000m final, bringing the first athletics medal for the Indian contingent at the Asian Games. Shortly after, the mixed 4x400m relay team, comprising Manu TS, Poovamma MR, Vishal TK, and Vithya Ramraj, came second in the final to win silver.

In swimming, Benediction Beniston ended joint 12th in the men’s 50m butterfly heats and failed to qualify for the final, while Ryan Nehra ended 3rd in the men’s 800m freestyle final. The men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team ended 12th in the heats and also failed to qualify.

In team sports, India’s men’s hockey team defeated South Korea 8-2 in a Pool A game. In kabaddi, the men’s team beat Chinese Taipei 37-21 in a Group A fixture to reach the semifinal and assure a medal, while the women’s team beat Japan 50-25 in a Group A match to qualify for the semifinals and secure a medal.

In boxing, Sumit Kundu lost to Ali Qasim Hamdan Al Sarray of Iraq in the men’s 70kg round of 16, and Sakshi Chaudhary lost to Alua Balkibekova of Kazakhstan in the women’s 51kg round of 16. Parveen Hooda beat Malika Nozimova of Tajikistan in her bout.
