Asia Cup Final

India won their 8th Asia Cup title by defeating Sri Lanka by by 10 wickets in Asia Cup Final, with Mohammed Siraj delivering a career-best performance.
In only the first six over of the game, Mohammed Siraj picked up a five-wicket haul, which forced Sri Lanka to submit. Jasprit Bumrah got things going by getting a wicket off the third delivery, and Siraj then completely destroyed the opposition’s batting order by getting four wickets in the fourth over alone.

In just his second over, he finished off his five-wicket haul by bowling Sri Lanka’s skipper Dasun Shanaka. At that moment, Sri Lanka was struggling at 12/6 in 5.4 overs. Siraj went on to set the greatest bowling stats in an ODI against Sri Lanka with 6/21, continuing the horror for the home team.

By taking two consecutive wickets in the first two balls of the 16th over, Hardik Pandya finished with three wickets and ended Sri Lanka’s innings. The second-lowest ODI score ever for Sri Lanka was 50 when they were all out.

Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill batted for India in the first two overs, adding 32 runs together in just three overs. They persisted and finished off the score in the seventh over, giving India a margin of victory of 10 wickets and 263 balls.

India lift the trophy

Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI and the president of the ACC, hands the trophy to Rohit. He then distributes it to the team’s younger members, as Indian captains have done ever since MS Dhoni started the custom all those years ago. Although there were many questions around the Indian squad a little over a month ago, India has played with a mostly reliable XI throughout this tournament.

Furthermore, they’ve demonstrated that player injuries, particularly those to hitters, are nothing more than a window of opportunity for a really gifted young player to step in and take their place. Given how steady Ishan Kishan has been, regardless of where he has batted, Shreyas Iyer could have to contend for his position.

Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav are presently their bowling lineup’s most potent weapons. They easily captured their seventh Asia Cup championship and sent a strong message to all the other teams that they will be hosting in the World Cup the following month.

Kuldeep Yadav wins the player of the series

Kuldeep says Over the past 1.5 years, I’ve been focusing on my rhythm. aggressively pushing through the crease. I enjoy bowling. The duration is crucial in T20 matches as well. It involves focusing just on the lengths and without worrying about wickets. have put up a lot of effort. Rohit bhai deserves praise. He pushed me to improve my speed. When fast bowlers help you take a few wickets during the powerplay, things get simpler for the spinners.

Siraj wins the player of the match

Siraj was named Player of the Match, but he chose to donate the $1,000 award to the Colombo grounds crew instead. Despite difficult weather circumstances, the Colombo ground personnel managed to maintain the smooth running of matches, and they were hailed by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli following the Pakistan game.

Siraj

Siraj stated that the ground crew deserved all the credit at the post-match presentation, as reported by Crex. These funds belong to the groundskeepers. This competition would not have been feasible without them.

While Saudi Arabia had the majority of the possession, India used counterattacks to create two good chances just before the 15-minute mark.
