Asia Cup 2023 Finals: Mohammad Siraj’s historic spell, shameful record for Sri Lanka
Asia Cup 2023 Finals: Five batsmen were out on zero. The entire team collapsed for just 50 runs. Team India’s fast bowlers have shown miraculous performance in the final match of Asia Cup 2023. Even the team itself would not have thought that the condition of the batting order of the Sri Lankan team, which is dreaming of defending the title, would be like this.
Sri Lanka’s lowest score against India :-
Sri Lankan team has been all out on its lowest score against India in the history of ODI cricket. Earlier in the year 2014 against Team India, the entire Sri Lankan team was bundled out for 58 runs. No Sri Lankan batsman could stand against the Indian fast bowlers. The situation was so bad that only two batsmen from the team could cross the double figures. At the same time, five batsmen returned to the pavilion without opening their account.
No Sri Lankan batsman had an answer to Mohammed Siraj ‘s fiery balls and the team’s batting order fell apart like a pack of cards in just 15.2 overs.
Third lowest score of ODI cricket :-
Sri Lankan team is limited to the third lowest score in ODI cricket history. Sri Lanka also holds the record of being out on the lowest score in ODI cricket. In the year 2012, Sri Lankan team was bundled out for 43 runs against South Africa. At the same time, Pakistan team was all out for 43 runs against West Indies in 1993. The entire Sri Lankan team was reduced to 50 runs in the final of Asia Cup 2023.
Mohammad Siraj wreaked havoc :-
Mohammad Siraj wreaked havoc with his balls in the title match. Siraj bowled brilliantly and conceded only 21 runs in his 7 overs spell and sent six Sri Lankan batsmen to the pavilion. Mohammad Siraj also achieved the feat of taking four wickets in a single over. Siraj has become the first Indian and only the second bowler overall to take six wickets in the history of Asia Cup.
