India vs Sri Lanka: Mohd Siraj's 6/21 annihilate hosts, SL bowled out for 50 | Asia Cup Final

A demolition!

Sri Lanka were simply annihilated in the Asia Cup final by Mohd Siraj and Co.

The 29-year-old produced a magical spell, a 5-wicket haul in the space of 10 balls, where he got the wickets of Pathum Nissanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva in a single over, followed by captain Dasun Shanaka’s wicket in his very next over.

And he wasn't done even then as he bagged the all-important wicket of Kusal Mendis too to finish with figures of 6/21, the fourth-best bowling figures for an Indian in ODI cricket.

Hardik Pandya then provided the finishing touches, taking 3 wickets in his 2.2 overs as Sri Lanka were shot out for just 50, the lowest total ever against India in 50-over cricket.
