In the final, Siraj, who conceded only 21 runs in seven overs, took six wickets and broke Lanka’s backbone. With this, India managed to thrash Sri Lanka, the last champions, by just 50 runs in the Asia Cup. In reply, Rohit and his team reached the target in just 6.1 overs. The fourth over bowled by Siraj was the most crucial for India.
Four Sri Lankan batsmen pitched in that over. In the first ball of the fourth over, Siraj got Nisanga into the hands of Jadeja and started the Lankan burn. On the third ball, Samaravikrama was trapped in front of the wicket. Asalanka was delivered to Ishan Kishan in the fourth ball. Dananjaya, who hit a boundary in the fifth ball, brought it to Rahul’s hands in the sixth ball and Siraj highlighted the highlight of Lanka.
Later, Siraj, who came to bowl the sixth over, bowled Dasun Shanaka in the fourth ball and completed the five-wicket haul in three overs. Then Siraj, who tried to rescue Kushal Mendis’s middle stump in the 11th over, joined the tail end. After that there were only ceremonies. Finally, Sri Lanka were all out for just 50 runs.
A handful of records, including India’s biggest ODI win, were born in the Asia Cup Final. India won with 263 balls to spare. The record of victory once morest Kenya in 2001 with 231 balls to spare has become legendary.
