India crushes defending champions Sri Lanka in a one-sided match in the final of the Asia Cup and secures title for the eighth time.
In the Asia Cup final, India easily achieved Sri Lanka's tiny target of 51 runs in just 6.1 overs, winning the match by 10 wickets to become the Asian Champions.
India has won the Asia Cup title 8 times on record. The final was played in Colombo, where Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first against India, which proved to be a completely wrong decision.
Sri Lanka's batting started late due to rain, but as soon as the match started, the Sri Lankan batting line-up shattered.
Sri Lanka's first six batters returned to the pavilion for just 12 runs, while the entire Sri Lankan team was bowled out for 50 runs in 15.2 overs.
India's bowler Mohammed Siraj took 6 wickets for 21 runs while Hardik Pandya took 3 wickets and one wicket came in Bumrah's share.
Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis scored 9 runs, five Sri Lankan players were out for zero.
