India beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets and balls to win its eighth men’s ODI Asia Cup title in Colombo on Sunday.
A terrific bowling performance led by Mohammed Siraj’s 6 for 21 helped India bundle Sri Lanka out for just 50 - the lowest-total ever in the Asia Cup - before waltzing in the chase.
Openers Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill powered India to a comfortable victory in just 6.1 overs.
