Choosing to Bat 1st, Sri Lanka never had been in the game, with Jasprit Bumrah starting his 1st over with a wicket and both the pace duo – Mohammad Siraj and Bumrah swinging the ball both ways, it seemed a deadly attack. However, the wicket affair started from the over of Mohammad Siraj, who became the first Indian bowler to grab 4 wickets in an over. Mohammad Siraj in his spell of 5 overs picked up 6 wickets conceding 21 runs . Hardik Pandya picked 3 wickets at the end to clean up the tail and demolished Sri Lanka for a mere 50 runs.
For his stunning 6⃣-wicket haul in the #AsiaCup2023 Final, Mohd. Siraj bagged the Player of the Match award 🏆#TeamIndia beat Sri Lanka to clinch the Asia Cup title (in ODIs) for the SEVENTH time 👏 👏

India while chasing the low score didn’t face any difficulties to chase the total. A new opening pair of Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan chased down the total in just 6.1 overs quickly thereby achieving the feat. Mohammad Siraj was awarded the Man of The Match Award and Kuldeep Yadav Man of The Series.
