Mohammed Siraj's six-wicket haul powers India to record Asia Cup Win

India wrapped up the Asia Cup 2023 final in less than three hours thanks to Mohammed Siraj's heroics as they crushed Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to clinch a record-extending 8th title at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.

Siraj single-handedly handed the trophy on a platter to Indian captain Rohit Sharma with his maiden six-wicket haul which helped them bow out Sri Lanka for just 50 runs in 15.2 overs. Siraj's record-breaking six-for was combined with three wickets from all-rounder Hardik Pandya and one from Jasprit Bumrah. India now have 8 Asia Cup titles, two more than Sri Lanka. This was also their biggest win in ODI cricket in terms of balls to spare.

It is only the third instance when a team has won an ODI final by 10 wickets and the biggest victory in terms of balls to spare in an ODI final - 263. All-rounder Shardul Thakur, who didn't play the final, summed up India's victory perfectly after the match which started at 3.40 pm and finished at 6.06 pm.
