India dominated the final thanks to Mohammed Siraj's 6/21. After opting to bat first, Sri Lanka were blown away by Siraj with six wickets in his first six wickets. This is India's 8th Asia Cup title. They are the most successful team in the history of the tournament. The final at the R Premadasa Stadium was completely a one-sided affair. The rain delayed the start for 40 minutes. And once the match started, India were superb. Jasprit Bumrah took a wicket in the very first over. Later, it was Siraj's show all the way. India won by 10 wickets with 263 balls to spare.
Ishan Kishan takes a single as India win the Asia Cup 2023. India 51/0 in 6.1 overs. A 10-wicket victory. Gill 27 not out, Kishan unbeaten on 23.
Dunith Wellalage, who took 5 wickets against India in the Super 4 stage, is into the attack. India 32/0 in 3 overs.
India 27/0 in 2.4 overs. Couple of boundaries from Gill.
