Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj has claimed six wickets, Jasprit Bumrah has taken one wicket, and Hardik Pandya has dismissed three batters to make the Asia Cup 2023 final a one-sided affair against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
Indian bowlers successfully dismissed Sri Lankan batters for only 50 runs, positioning India on the verge of victory in the Asia Cup final.
Mohammed Siraj picked up his first five wickets in 16 balls, which is the fastest in ODI cricket history. He made his dance of destruction in the 4th over (3.1, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.6 balls). The victims were Pathum Nissanka, Sadeera Samaraiwickrama, Charith Asalanka, and Dhananjaya De Silva.
However, the play had a delayed start due to rain after Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to bat against India.
