Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Rule Asian Games 2023 who decided that the Indonesian Women’s National Cricket Team lost without playing when they faced Pakistan in the quarter-finals received the spotlight.
Sad news was received by the Indonesian Women’s National Cricket Team which is competing in the 2023 Asian Games in China, Thursday (21/9).
This is because the Indonesian Women’s National Cricket Team was declared defeated without competing when they faced Pakistan in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Asian Games.
The Indonesian Women’s National Cricket Team had to stop in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Asian Games after being declared defeated as a result force majeure Due to heavy rain, the match was canceled.
The Indonesia vs Pakistan match in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Asian Games was supposed to be held at the Pingfeng Cricket Field of Zhejiang University of Technology, Thursday (21/9) at 14.00 local time or 13.00 WIB.
However, the match could not take place because the heavy rain that poured down on the venue never stopped. Meanwhile, in cricket matches, it is stipulated that the match cannot be played if the field is exposed to rain.
Finally, the Asian Games committee decided that the match was won by Pakistan without a match being held. The reason is because Pakistan is superior in the world cricket ranking compared to Indonesia.
“It is true that Pakistan is ranked higher than Indonesia. However, Indonesia still has a chance of qualifying for the semifinals if the quarter-final match can be held. Moreover, the Indonesian women’s national cricket team on fire to achieve maximum results,” said Chairman of the General Management of the Indonesian Cricket Association (PCI) Abhiram Singh.
However, Abhiram believes that this decision is very detrimental to Indonesia. Because of this, Abhiram has submitted a protest to the Asian Games committee through the Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC).
“Of course we are at a disadvantage. Therefore, we are trying to protest through the Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC). Earlier we sent a complete chronology of materials for the NOC at the Chef de Mission (CdM) meeting. Hopefully there can be a solution,” said Abhiram.
As a result of the decision that closed Indonesia’s chances of getting to the semifinals, said Abhiram, his party has now coordinated with the Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC Indonesia) by preparing files to be discussed with the Hangzhou Organizing Committee (HAGOC) to find the best way to deal with decisions that are detrimental to the Red and White the.
Abhiram is sure that NOC Indonesia will try its best to continue the protest conveyed by his team. In the future, whatever decision is made, the party will accept it gracefully.
