Mohammed Siraj was the toast of the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 final between India and Sri Lanka which is being played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on September 17.

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first and captain Dasun Shanaka revealed that Dushan Hemantha replaced injured Maheesh Theekshana in the XI. And on the other hand, India captain Rohit Sharma, who is playing his 250^th ODI, confirmed that Washington Sundar came in for Akshar Patel.

Jasprit Bumrah opened the account by having Kusal Perera caught by KL Rahul for a duck in the first over. But it was Mohammed Siraj who bowled the over of destruction as he removed four Sri Lankan batters in the 4^th over of their innings.

Mohammed Siraj began the rampage in the 4^th over of the innings, as he started by removing Pathum Nissanka for 2 runs, who was caught at point by Ravindra Jadeja brilliantly.
