In a stunning display of pace and precision, Mohammed Siraj single-handedly dismantled Sri Lanka’s batting order within the opening six overs of the match. Jasprit Bumrah initiated the onslaught with a wicket in the third ball, setting the stage for Siraj’s bowling masterclass.
Siraj’s magical fourth over saw him claim four wickets, including the dismissal of Sri Lanka’s captain, Dasun Shanaka. This extraordinary performance left Sri Lanka reeling at a mere 12/6 within 5.4 overs. The nightmare persisted for the home team, ultimately culminating in their all-out score of 50, their second lowest ever in ODIs.
Hardik Pandya further capitalized on the bowling brilliance, clinching three wickets and sealing Sri Lanka’s fate. Chasing a meager target, India’s openers Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill showcased their prowess, swiftly amassing 32 runs in just three overs.
The Indian team, driven by their dominant bowling performance and clinical batting display, effortlessly achieved the target within the seventh over. This resounding victory, secured with 10 wickets and a remarkable 263 balls to spare, underscores India’s dominance in the match.
