NEW DELHI: Pace bowler Mohammed Siraj delivered a remarkable performance, securing figures of 6-21, and propelled India to a resounding 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka, securing their eighth Asia Cup title on a Sunday to remember.
Siraj’s extraordinary four-wicket burst in a single over played a pivotal role in dismantling Sri Lanka’s batting lineup, restricting them to a meager total of 50 runs.
In response, the Indian openers Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill comfortably surpassed this target in just 6.1 overs, clinching an impressive win as they prepared for the upcoming ODI World Cup to be held at home next month.
