Siraj picks 6 for 21 as India wins 8th Asia Cup title

The Hindu  

The bright and sunny afternoon turned overcast 10 minutes before the scheduled start. Once the Asia Cup final finally got going 40 minutes late, a capacity crowd at the R. Premadasa Stadium had one eye on the sky, with a thunderstorm predicted to hit the Lankan capital. It took India just 37 balls to overhaul the lowest team total in the Asia Cup’s four-decade history to seal an emphatic win and lift the trophy in style. Siraj returned in the next over to uproot captain Dasun Shanaka’s off-stump and complete his maiden ODI five-wicket haul in 16 balls. That Kuldeep Yadav could bowl a solitary over and only two Sri Lanka batters reached double-digit scores underlined Indian pace pack’s dominance.
