Asia Cup 2023 top run-getters and wicket-takers after India vs Sri Lanka final (Updated) ft. Mohammed Siraj and Shubman Gill

India obliterated Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 Final on Sunday, notching a rare 10-wicket win, secured inside just six overs. All predictions, broadcast plans, dinner programs and flight schedules were left in tatters due to the early one-sided outcome of the game.

Injury-ridden hosts Sri Lanka had no answer to the swing and seam movement from the Indian new-ball bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah provided the first breakthrough by getting Kusal Perera to nick one to slips in the first over. It was a good start backed up by Mohammed Siraj, who also began with a maiden over.

However, not many would have been able to guess what followed in the fourth over. The right-arm pacer pitched the ball in the right areas and made it seam both ways to get rid of Pathum Nissanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva in the same over, all edging against full deliveries.

Bumrah racked up maiden overs from the other end allowing Siraj to come back and attack even more. He clean-bowled Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis in another two consecutive overs. Hardik Pandya cleaned up the tail and Sri Lanka were bowled out for 50 - their lowest-ever ODI total.

Rohit Sharma demoted himself in the batting order as Ishan Kishan (23 off 18) and Shubman Gill (27 off 19) opened the innings. Sri Lankan bowlers, deflated, didn't any help from the wicket and the two youngsters finished things off in just 31 deliveries using nine boundaries.
