Story of the match
After a bit of drizzle at the R Premdasa Stadium, it started raining wickets as winning the toss and batting first did not turn out to be a great decision for Sri Lanka. Mohammed Siraj ran through the Sri Lankan side taking four wickets in a single over and six wickets in total as the islanders were bundled out for just 50 in 15.2 overs in the Asia Cup Final. India then wasted no time and completed the chase in just 6.1 overs to lift the Asia Cup trophy for eighth time.
