India lifted the Asia Cup 2023 trophy by chasing down a target of just 51 runs in just 6.1 overs. While a slight drizzle graced the match today, it wasn't the rain that caused Sri Lanka's downfall; rather, it was the exceptional bowling performances by Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya that left the Sri Lankan side reeling. The two bowlers collectively scalped nine wickets, with Siraj taking six and Pandya claiming three, resulting in Sri Lanka being bundled out for a mere 50 runs in 15.2 overs.
