Slow Korogi pitch sets up a spin test in India-Afghanistan quarterfinal

India meet Afghanistan in Monday’s Asian Games men’s cricket quarterfinal at Korogi Athletic Park, where group-stage games have produced low totals on a slow, gripping surface. Spin has dominated later in innings, while fast bowlers can find early movement.

The hybrid pitch combines local clay and synthetic fibres. Nepal’s Sundeep Jora scored 57 against Japan, showing that batters could still find boundaries on the surface.
