For several days in Colombo, there was concern about the final of the Asia Cup due to heavy rain. However, the Sri Lankan cricketers will want to forget the day even if the threat of rain is dismissed. Because the swing and pace of Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj, who played at home, left him in tears. As a result, Rohit Sharma's team won the Asia Cup title for the eighth time without any competition.
After winning the toss and batting first in the title-deciding final at the Premadasa Stadium on Monday (September 17), the Lankans managed just 92 balls. At this time the Indian pacers picked up all the wickets and Sri Lanka managed to score 50 runs on the scoreboard. The maximum 17 runs for the team came from the bat of Kushal Mendis who came down one down. Besides, Dushan Hemanth remained unbeaten on 13 runs. On this day, the remaining 9 batters of the team could not reach double figures.
Best bowler Mohammad Siraj took 6 wickets for 21 runs for India.
India reached the target in 6 overs 1 ball without losing any wicket.
