India (Bharat) defeated Sri Lanka to win the 2023 Asia Cup. |
In the Asia Cup on Sunday, India (Bharat)defeated home platoon Sri Lanka by 10 lattices in the final and won the title. In fact, India (Bharat) had to complete only the formalities to score 51 runs. And both its openers Shubman Gill( 27 not out), Ishan Kishan( 23 not out) gave a fast launch and defeated Sri Lanka by 10 lattices in just6.1 overs. And if this was possible, also the biggest responsible behind it was Mohammad Siraj, who poorly defeated the home batsmen in the first innings. After this crushing defeat, Sri Lanka must have seen in the glass where its justice has reached. before, in the first innings of Sri Lanka( India vs Sri Lanka), Indian leader Mohammad Siraj took out the Sri Lankan fur poorly and sailed it out for just 50 runs. In this, Siraj took six lattices and Hardik Pandya took three lattices. Kusal Mendis scored the maximum 17 runs for Sri Lanka. Jasprit Bumrah spoiled the launch of Sri Lanka by getting Kusal Perera( 0) caught by KL Rahul on the third ball of the first over. And also from then came such a riffle of Mohammed Siraj that Sri Lanka was swept down by it. And within no time his 6 lattices fell by only 12 runs. This included five lattices including 3 taken by Siraj in one over. And from then questions started arising whether Sri Lanka would indeed be suitable to touch the figure of fifty. In fact, if Virat Kohli'sover-throw hadn't yielded six runs, the host platoon would not have indeed been suitable to touch this figure. After Siraj, when Hardik Pandya came on the attack, he also attacked Lanka at regular intervals. And within no time the entire Sri Lankan platoon collapsed for 50 runs in just15.2 overs. In this, Mohammad Sihaj took six lattices, Hardik took three and Bumrah took one gate. before, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to club first in the match. And also made changes in the XI, but both these aspects proved to be disastrous for him. And the Sri Lankan platoon was reduced to the alternate smallest score in its ODI history. The final XIs of both the countries that played in the match were as follows India XI Rohit Sharma( captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul( wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj.
