00:00 Sri Lanka bundled out for just 50 runs in the Asia Cup 2023 final against India on Sunday.
00:09 The Lankans chose to bat first after winning the toss, but could not survive some amazing
00:14 pace bowling from Mohamed Siraj, who rattled them with six wickets.
00:18 If the fear was about the rain that caused an early delay or spin dictating the proceedings,
00:23 Mohamed Siraj emerged as a nightmare for the defending Asia Cup champions Sri Lanka in
00:27 the final on Sunday at the R. Premadasa Stadium as he single-handedly wreaked havoc to fold
00:34 the hosts for the lowest ever score in the history of the continental event.
00:39 Such was the destruction from Siraj that while he completed his five-wicket haul in just
00:43 16 balls, en route to his record six-fer, Sri Lanka were bundled in just 15.2 overs.
00:50 It was a sensational over in which he removed Partho Nisankar, Sadeeram Savaravikrama, Charith
00:56 Asalanka and Dhananjaya D'Silva, thereby becoming the first bowler in history of men's ODI to
01:02 achieve the feat.
01:03 It started with Jasprit Bhumra providing the breakthrough in the very first over of the
01:07 match after Sri Lanka had opted to bat first.
01:10 After that, it was all about Siraj.
01:12 He began with a maiden over before picking four wickets in a second over where at one
01:16 point he even stood on the verge of picking up a hat-trick and became the first ever Indian
01:20 bowler to scalp four wickets in a single over.
01:24 After Siraj was taken off the attack, Hardik Pandya picked the remaining three wickets
01:27 to fold Sri Lanka for just 50 runs.
01:30 This is the best figure by an Indian bowler in an Asia Cup ODI match and second best overall
01:36 after Ajanta Mendes 6 for 13 against India in Karachi in 2008.
01:41 It is also the best figures against Sri Lanka in an ODI match, surpassing Vakar Unisys 6
01:46 for 26 in Sharjah in 1990.
01:49 This is also their second lowest score in an ODI match after 43 against South Africa
01:53 in PAL in 2012.
01:55 The total of 50 also made it to the top in the lowest ever score by a team in an ODI
02:00 final, breaking India's feat of 54 against Sri Lanka in Sharjah in 2000 and lowest ODI
02:05 totals against India.
02:07 Siraj's good show has sent X into a frenzy as fans are reacting with love for the Hyderabad-born
02:13 pacer.
