In a remarkable display of cricketing prowess, India stormed to victory in the Asia Cup 2023 final, decimating Sri Lanka at R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.

In a historical defeat for Sri Lanka, the Indian team bowled out their opponents for a paltry 50 runs, and the opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill efficiently chased down the target in just 6.1 overs, sealing a commanding win. With Kishan’s single against the part-time spinner Charith Asalanka, the summit clash concluded in just two hours.

Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj emerged as the star of the match, achieving his career-best ODI figures of 6-21. He was ably supported by all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who contributed significantly with three wickets to dismiss the Sri Lankan side.

The game showcased India’s dominance in the Asia Cup and solidified their reputation as a cricketing powerhouse.
