India (51/0) crowned champions of Asia Cup 2023 after crushing Sri Lanka (50) by 10 wickets

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Sri lanka can still win this.. you never know lol

 

[Bhaijaan]

Come on Miyan , take some more and create a record.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Babar would’ve brought on spinners from both ends with SL 6 down.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is how he took 5fer on his test debut in that famous Gabba test. He hit that channel consistently.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mendis has alot of responsibility on his shoulders today. Srilankan's approach should be according to test cricket. Need sheer temperament. And come out stronger. It's gonna be interesting final. All eyes on Mendis and Wellalage

 

[RexRex]

Siraj is the real deal.

 

[IAJ]

Excellent bowling but got to say rubbish batting chasing wide ones and missing half-volleys. Feel for the crowd.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

India can be 36 AO

 

[MP2011]

How far Siraj has come in LoI cricket! I remember him bowling those buffet balls whenever he got chance in LoIs. But now he is mostly bowling test match lengths which is paying rich dividends for him and us.

 

[Devadwal]

Finally back to back boundry

 

[GLORY OF '92]

SL need to fight here. Scrap to 150 +

 

[jnaveen1980]

Found another edge by SIraj. Didn't carry.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Outstanding spell by Siraj. Hope they give him another.

 

[batandballbattle]

what an absolute mauling this is
you would expect a closer game in a final...

 

[jnaveen1980]

India never learns. Kohli standing in slips is a diaster. Never worked

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Is this match in SL or 1st morning in headingley?

 

[MP2011]

India never learns. Kohli standing in slips is a diaster. Never worked

I expect him to drop at least 1 very important catch in WC if he keeps fielding in slips

 

[Thanos]

India never learns. Kohli standing in slips is a diaster. Never worked

That was KL's catch. Ball didn't carry to first slip.

 

[MP2011]

No. 6 for Siraj

 

[vprasanna83]

7 down

 

[FearlessRoar]

Medis Gone

 

[Bhaijaan]

6th wicket for Siraj.

Middle stump down.
What bowling. This is no fluke.

 

[Devadwal]

7 down

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

India never learns. Kohli standing in slips is a diaster. Never worked

i guess he averages one drop every 2 matches

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srilanka out of desperation tries to do some macho stuff against this impeccable spell.

 

[Nado_]

great bowling but what that hell was that shot , it felt like gully cricket where the guy who’s getting everyone out , you want to wack him to look macho and prove a point and you end up getting out yourself

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow that's poor from Mendis

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

The mendis dismissal looked dodgy

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Siraj AndersonSteyn Asif is on fayaaah...

 

[kingusama92]

Terrific delivery but another nonsensical shot.

This is some low IQ stuff from SL.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Unbelievable scenes. I am not understanding how siraj is doing this. Why our pace trio can't do this?

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj AndersonSteyn Asif is on fayaaah...

Asif ko dur rkho .he is a fixer

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Asif ko dur rkho .he is a fixer

yeah. But when on song, he was up ther with the best. He had the jadoo...

 

[Rana]

Is that Prabhu Dev sitting with Jay Shah?

 

[Devadwal]

Is that Prabhu Dev sitting with Jay Shah?

Yes

 

[MP2011]

Is that Prabhu Dev sitting with Jay Shah?

Yeah

 

[Nado_]

Unbelievable scenes. I am not understanding how siraj is doing this. Why our pace trio can't do this?

This is a once in a lifetime spell mixed with some very poor batting .

Siraj though is no joke of a bowler and he has just increased India’s bowling stocks and chances to win World Cup. Only India can beat India in the World Cup , meaning if they can’t handle the pressure and self choke!

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Why is Zaka Ashraf not there for the finals as the host of the Asia Cup?

 

[kron]

The mendis dismissal looked dodgy

Can you stop? No one is accusing india of match fixing here.

 

[kron]

Unbelievable scenes. I am not understanding how siraj is doing this. Why our pace trio can't do this?

I think we need to accept that both pace attacks are quite similar. Infact india might be better.

 

[MP2011]

ACC has announced US$ 50K prize money for ground staff.

Good gesture.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Pandya is underrated as a bowler

 

[Devadwal]

8 down

 

[MP2011]

8th down now.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

ACC has US$ 50K prize money for ground staff.

Good gesture.

still less money. BCCI should have paid more.

They can be beaten in Ko. Pakistan, Australia are 2 teams I believe can bet them in kos.

Don't see England or nz beating this india in India now.

 

[Ab Fan]

Will Sri Lanka make it to 50?

The 54 revenge is still alive. Will today be the day?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

need to get them under 54.. The revenge of 54 all out in Sharjah!!1

 

[Swashbuckler]

8th wicket falls, India galloping towards an 8th Asia Cup title.

 

[RexRex]

Is that Prabhu Dev sitting with Jay Shah?

I havent heard that name in decades.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

ACC has announced US$ 50K prize money for ground staff.

Good gesture.

yep. long due....wish the bcci gadzillion guzzling cement heads also would reward those hard working guys similarly

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lankans must be gutted. It is an outstanding spell. If India had Shami as well game would have been over already.

 

[kron]

The 54 revenge is still alive. Will today be the day?

What 54?

 

[MP2011]

still less money. BCCI should have paid more.

This is coming from ACC, not BCCi, so fair enough I guess.

 

[Swashbuckler]

What 54?

Sri Lanka once bowled us out for 54 in Sharjah, I think in the 90s. Jayasuriya scored 189 in that match.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

They can be beaten in Ko. Pakistan, Australia are 2 teams I believe can bet them in kos.

Don't see England or nz beating this india in India now.

The only thing Pakistan can beat right now is themselves for flopping against this poor Lanka team.

 

[Ab Fan]

Shami at his peak is better than Boom and Siraj. He is india's ODI legend with amazing strike rates. Siraj has surged ahead in the last one year.

Shami is good but Siraj at its best is better than Shami at its best because Siraj can really win you a game on his own.

Gabba 2020 and Lords 2021 was thanks to Siraj 's amazing spell. Shami often takes 2-3 wickets but stays silent post that.

 

[Rana]

Yes

What a performer he was. Best dancer in the history of South Asia

 

[MP2011]

What 54?

They dismissed us for 54 (in a Asia Cup final?) after setting us 290 to win.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Sri Lanka once bowled us out for 54 in Sharjah, I think in the 90s. Jayasuriya scored 189 in that match.

yeah that's correct. bad childhood memories.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

If this keeps up, i think Washy Sundar will be in the 'did'nt bowl, did'nt bat, did'nt field' ...easiest $$$ i made in my life category

 

[Ab Fan]

What 54?

SL 289
Ind 54

One of the taunting as well as humiliating matches to have witnessed as a kid back.

 

[Nado_]

need to get them under 54.. The revenge of 54 all out in Sharjah!!1

When was this?

 

[jnaveen1980]

The 54 revenge is still alive. Will today be the day?

That was an unexplainable freak match. I still don't know how we folded like that.

 

[batandballbattle]

The only thing Pakistan can beat right now is themselves for flopping against this poor Lanka team.

india have a full strength attack whereas we were missing 2 gun bowlers, not really a fair comparison

 

[FearlessRoar]

There is no disappointment on faces of srilankan players and neither srilankan fans

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

When was this?

Sharjah, October 29, 2000, Coca-Cola Champions Trophy
Srl - 299/5.. Sanath 189
Ind - 54

 

[jnaveen1980]

I neve rbothered about 54 all out match. Vast majority of the guys perished against some ordinary balls. It was just Jaya's match. 189 amazing knock. He tortured us during that phase

 

[Anupam]

Bhai, ye to shuru hote hi khatam ho gaya yar

 

[MP2011]

There is no disappointment on faces of srilankan players and neither srilankan fans

They are more shocked than disappointed

 

[Nado_]

They can be beaten in Ko. Pakistan, Australia are 2 teams I believe can bet them in kos.

Don't see England or nz beating this india in India now.

Pakistan can win if Shaheen and Haris gets early breakthroughs and restricts them to a low score. Then they might scrape a victory by seeing off the openers and playing spin carefully

I was awake as a 14 year old kid.. watching India chase. A horrible memory lol

That’s a big if though

Dil bahlane ke liye Ghalib khayal acha hai

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj please no more over. World Cup is just few day ago .

 

[Nado_]

Aside from Bumrah , what is India’s death bowling like , that might make the difference when they come up against odi beast England

 

[TheSultan]

Siraaj is quite possibly India’s greatest ever bowler.

 

[kron]

SL 289
Ind 54

One of the taunting as well as humiliating matches to have witnessed as a kid back.

Oh right. Can't remember that. Interesting.

 

[MP2011]

Poor from Kohli, needless overthrows

 

[Professionalismandflair]

No chance. Babar can’t think out of the box. Pak will be crushed.
