Mohammed Siraj, who bowled for India, put up an incredible seam bowling, recording 6 for 21 from his 7 overs, including a maiden.
Digital Desk: A 5-year wait for a Men's Asia Cup title comes to an end for this cricket-crazy nation! For Rohit Sharma and company, winning over Sri Lanka to win the Asia Cup for the eighth time in history, is like walking through a park. The Men in Blue have proven worthy champions of this continental competition, living up to their reputation as favourites. To cut to the chase, Ishan Kishan was sent to open alongside Shubman Gill in place of Rohit Sharma, and the southpaw undoubtedly paid back his skipper's confidence.
Both young guns were upbeat and delivered proper cricketing shots as they chased a paltry total of 51. India's largest victory in terms of balls remaining saw them cruise home with 263 balls to spare.
Dasun Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka, won the coin toss and chose to bat first earlier in the match. Sincerely speaking, Sri Lanka's lone successful play during the final was the coin toss. Under cloudy conditions, the Indian pacers, particularly Mohammed Siraj, proved to be too good for them. However, as they lacked the knowledge to handle the new ball, the hitters were entirely responsible for their actions.
They just gave up on India's pace attack because they continued to play away from the body and were unwilling to leave deliveries outside of off stump. The lowest total in a men's ODI final was achieved by Sri Lanka, who were bowled out for 50 runs in just 15.2 overs. Mohammed Siraj, who bowled for India, put up an incredible seam bowling clinic, recording 6 for 21 from his 7 overs, including a maiden. In contrast to Hardik Pandya, who finished with three wickets, Jasprit Bumrah was a little off-kilter and only claimed one wicket.
