'Miyaan, Miyaan...': Cricket world explodes Siraj blows away Sri Lanka with 5-wicket haul

Sri Lanka have made a terrible start in the Asia Cup final as Indian bowlers have been all over them. Both Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah have ripped apart their top order as Sri Lanka are struggling at 12 for six. Siraj looked particularly destructive as he has been the standout among the two pacers. The Royal Challengers Bangalore bowler broke the backbone of the Sri Lankan batting lineup.

India lost to Bangladesh in a closely contested match in the last fixture and they have bounced back in a brilliant fashion in the summit clash. Team India have won the most number of Asia Cup titles so far as they have seven continental trophies in their cabinet and the way they have performed so far an eighth title seems to be a matter of time only.
