Sri Lanka bowled out for 50 in Asia Cup final

Sri Lanka were bowled out for 50 in the Asia Cup final, which was the lowest score ever in an ODI final and the second-lowest score ever in an ODI.
Sri Lanka's batting performance was a major disappointment. They were simply outplayed by the Indian bowlers.
Sri Lanka's batsmen were unable to handle the pace and accuracy of the Indian bowlers. They also made several mistakes, such as playing loose shots and getting caught in the field.
Mohammed Siraj's best ODI bowling figures
Mohammed Siraj's figures of 6/32 in the Asia Cup final were his best ODI bowling figures. He also became the first Indian bowler to take six wickets in an ODI final.
Siraj's bowling was simply unplayable on the day. He bowled with great pace and accuracy, and he was able to extract swing and seam from the pitch. He also used the short ball to good effect, getting several Sri Lankan batsmen into trouble.
Siraj's performance in the Asia Cup final was a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has come a long way since making his ODI debut in 2017, and he is now one of the most feared bowlers in the world.
In an interview after the Asia Cup final, Mohammed Siraj spoke about his four-wicket haul in first four over. He said that he was feeling very confident on the day and that he was able to execute his plans perfectly.
Siraj also said that he was very happy to have helped India win the Asia Cup. He said that it was a dream come true for him to represent India in an ICC tournament and to win a trophy.
Top and lowest scores in ODI cricket
The highest score in ODI cricket is 444/3, which was scored by England against Pakistan in 2016. The lowest score in ODI cricket is 35, which was scored by Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka in 2004.
The top and lowest scores in ODI cricket are a reflection of the different ways that the game has evolved over the years. In the early days of ODI cricket, batsmen were more conservative and scores were generally lower. However, in recent years, batsmen have become more aggressive and scores have increased significantly.
The top and lowest scores in ODI cricket are also a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the game. Even the best teams in the world are capable of being bowled out for a low score, and even the weakest teams are capable of scoring a big total.
India records fourth-fastest run chase in ODIs

India's fast run chase in the Asia Cup final was a testament to the quality of their batting lineup. Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill played aggressively from the start, and they were able to score boundaries at a rapid rate.
