In a final shorter than tea break, India burned bright -Cricketers and fans react after India win 8th Asia Cup title

India pulled off one of the greatest wins in a men’s tournament final after the Men in Blue beat Sri Lanka by ten wickets in the Asia Cup 2023 final.

Sri Lanka, batting first, registered the third lowest score in ODI cricket by the top 10 ranked team, as the Island Nation tumbled for just 50 runs. Mohammed Siraj was the star player, as the 29-year-old took a six-wicket haul. In reply, the Men in Blue chased down the target in 6.1 overs and won their 8th Asia Cup title.
