India beat Japan by two runs in rain-hit T20I in Nagoya

India edged past Japan by two runs in a rain-affected T20I in Nagoya on Thursday, holding their nerve in a truncated contest at the Asian Games.
The narrow win kept India's cricket campaign on track in Aichi-Nagoya, adding to a day that also delivered the women's team's historic gold and bronze medals for the skeet shooters.
With the medal tally at eight and climbing, the contingent will look to the athletics programme for further podium finishes in the coming days.
