Mohammed Siraj’s exceptional performance in the Asia Cup final left every cricket fan around the world in awe as the Indian bowler dismantled Sri Lanka’s batting line-up with his bowling attack. “Miya Magic” sent half of the Sri Lankan batters to the dressing room. Sri Lankan batters were falling like houses of cards in front of the Indian bowlers; in fact, the demolition done by Mohammed Siraj didn’t let Sri Lanka bounce back, and the whole team was bundled out for just 50 runs in 15.2 overs. Hardik Pandya joined Siraj and claimed three wickets, with Jasprit Bumrah taking one wicket in the Asia Cup final.
Not just the performance of Mohammed Siraj made people appreciate his bowling skills; his heartwarming gesture post-match made the day of the ground staff who worked so hard securing the pitches during the Asia Cup 2023. As several matches faced the fury of the rain, it was because of the reluctant work done by ground staff during those times that matches went as per the schedule. Mohammed Siraj donated his Player of the Match money reward to Sri Lanka’s ground staff. Siraj’s performance in the final matched the 20-year-old record of Sri Lankan bowler Chaminda Vaas for taking a five-wicket haul in the fewest number of balls; both took 16 balls to claim a five-wicket haul in an ODI match.
India claimed the Asia Cup title for the 8th time, and now the team will carry the confidence with them for the ICC CWC 2023, which is going to start on October 5th in India. The Indian squad has been announced, and the top 15 have the opportunity to represent the nation in the CWC. The event would be finalized on November 19.
