Team India obliterates Sri Lanka in the final of Asia Cup 2023
Courtesy of an exceptional opening spell by Mohd. Siraj, Team India were all over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 final. The 16-ball 5-fer by Siraj dropped the Lankan Tigers to rock bottom, and there was no coming back from 12-6. From there, only a formality remained which prolonged the game to a total of 22 overs. The 10-wicket win comes as a delight for the fans of Men in Blue, who have been making noise on the internet ever since the culmination of the match. For the neutrals, who were on the lookout for a competitive contest, it was apparently a disappointing match-up.
Shoaib Akhtar praises Team India
Many experts weighed in on the outstanding performance of Team India, and Shoaib Akhtar, who is quite frequent on YouTube, delivered his entry as well. The ex-pacer of Pak was all praise for India and gave his kudos to Rohit Sharma and the Team Management for making the right calls. Moreover, stated that India could come as the most lethal side in the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
“Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has improved. He and the team management have been making great decisions. I did not imagine India beating Sri Lanka in this manner. From here on, India could be the most dangerous side in the World Cup, but I am not writing anybody off because teams from the sub-continent are formidable," Akhtar said.
