In the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka, Mohammed Siraj delivered an outstanding performance. His swing and seam bowling wreaked havoc, resulting in figures of 6 for 21 in just seven overs. Sri Lanka was bundled out for a mere 50 runs, which is the lowest total by any team against India in men’s ODIs. Here are some key numbers from that game:
- 50: Sri Lanka’s total, the lowest by any team against India in men’s ODIs.
- 6 for 21: Siraj’s bowling figures, the second-best in the men’s ODI Asia Cup.
- 4: Wickets taken by Siraj in a single over, making him the first Indian bowler to achieve this feat in men’s internationals.
- 16: Balls needed for Siraj to complete his five-wicket haul, one of the fastest in men’s ODIs.
- 12: Sri Lanka’s score at the fall of the sixth wicket, an exceptionally low point in their innings.
