Mohammed Siraj broke the back of Sri Lanka by taking 4 wickets in the fourth over of the match.
But along with these wickets of Mohammed Siraj, his effort to stop the boundary hit by D’Selva on his own ball was also commendable. Despite being a fast bowler and taking three wickets in the first over, he ran to the boundary to prevent these four runs.
Rain disrupted the Asia Cup final between India and Sri Lanka before the toss. But Varun Raja was pleased and the match started late. Reigning champions Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first.
But this decision was suicidal in the very first over. Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Kusal Perera on zero on the third ball. After this, Mohammad Siraj made a blast in the fourth over of the match.
