Asia Cup 2023 Final: Mohammed Siraj's Six-Wicket Haul Enough To Sink Sri Lanka As India Win First Trophy Since 2018 - In Pics

Mohammed Siraj swung India's fortunes around in a final as Team India beat Sri Lanka by 10-wickets to win the Asia Cup 2023 in Colombo on Sunday. Dasun Shanaka won the toss and elected to bat first on what was touted as a good batting wicket. But India's Mohammed Siraj plucked six wickets including a four-wicket over to break Sri Lankan fans' hearts as the home side were bowled out for a paltry 50 in 15.2 overs. In reply, Indian batters completed the job in 6.1 overs and bring home the silverware ahead of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
