In a shocking turn of events during the Asia Cup 2023 final against India, the Sri Lankan team was dismissed for a paltry total of 50 in just 15.2 overs. Indian pacer, Mohammed Siraj delivered a spectacular performance by picking six wickets, four of them in a single over.

However, the cricketing world wasn’t the only thing set ablaze by this unexpected outcome. Twitter had a field day as it drew humorous comparisons between Sri Lanka's 50 and Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) infamous 49.

For those who might have forgotten, RCB's 49 all-out against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017 remains the lowest score in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This dismal performance had earned the team and its then captain, Virat Kohli, much criticism and online banter.

Today’s outcome seemed to have opened old wounds, as fans and critics alike rushed to their keyboards to draw parallels. Memes, gifs, and jokes flooded Twitter, making it a viral fest.

However, while the jokes and memes were all in good fun, fans also commended the Indian team for their exceptional bowling and performance, especially Siraj, who emerged as the hero of the day.

Meanwhile, India’s chase in underway currently and they are expected to chase the measly target without any hiccups. If the Men in Blue manage to win this final, they will add an eighth Asia Cup title to their cabinet and thereby extend their lead over Sri Lanka, who has six trophies to their name.
