4 bats, second hand equipment: Battling the odds at Asian Games with heads held high

Mongolia's four bats and 12 women cricketers completed their Asian Games campaign with 37 runs, scoring 15 and 22 all out against Indonesia and Hong Kong, respectively. Their net run-rate of -17.200 is glaring, but the country's success in establishing itself on the Asian cricket map is also noteworthy. The team's efforts and backstory have made headlines, as it showcases the country's resilience and determination in a sport that was once difficult to find in a landlocked country.
