Mohammed Siraj has been brilliant for India across formats for a year or so now. However, he could not live up to his billing in the Asia Cup and was under bit of pressure coming into the final. The man though has set the staged on fire in the final against the Lankans with four wickets in a single over and has shocked Sri Lanka and their beloved fans assembled at the R.Premadasa Stadium.

How Siraj Outfoxed Sadeera Samarawickrama?

One of those wickets was of Sadeera Samarawickrama, who has been the man in form for Sri Lanka. It was the third ball of the fourth over and  Sadeera who just came out to bat got beaten by the beautiful in-dipper from Siraj. The ball pitched on good length, on off and seamed back in sharply. Sadeera Samarawickrama tried to defend it but could not connect and got hit on the pads. A big appeal followed and the umpire raised his finger. Sadeera did take the DRS but it went in vain as the Ball Tracking showed three reds.

Siraj who got the wicket of Nissanka on the first delivery also got the wickets of Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva on the fourth and final ball respectively and it has completely rocked Sri Lanka. Siraj then got the wicket of Shanaka in the next over as well and with Sri Lanka losing 6 wickets with just 12 runs on the board, they are in a big whole in this big final.
