India registered a dominating 10-wicket win over Sri Lanka to lift the Asia Cup 2023 trophy on Sunday, September 17. Mohammed Siraj produced record-breaking figures of six for 21 to bowl out Sri Lanka on just 50 runs while bowling first at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium and then openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan chased the target in just 37 balls.
It was a one-sided affair in the final as the match inside 22 overs. As expected, Mohammed Siraj claimed the Player of the Match award for his six wickets and also finished the tournament as the leading wicket-taker for India with 10 wickets in four innings. Sri Lankan youngster Matheesha Pathirana topped the bowling chart with 11 wickets in six innings to pip out Siraj, Shaheen Afridi and Dunith Wellalage.

He scored unbeaten 27* runs off 19 balls in the final and finished the tournament with 302 runs in five innings at an average of 75.50 with one hundred and two fifties.
