HANGZHOU, China — India has picked up the gold medal in men's cricket at the Asian Games after the final against Afghanistan was halted by rain.

Afghanistan has not won a gold. The Games close their two-week run on Sunday with three gold medals to be awarded on the final day — two in karate and one in artistic swimming.
