Indian bowlers send Sri Lanka packing for 50 in Asia Cup final

The Sri Lankan batting order collapsed before the attack of Indian bowlers as the entire team was bowled out in the Asia Cup final for 50, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.

As the match started, five Sri Lankan batsmen were sent to the pavilion in the first four overs of the match.

Indian fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj dismissed four Sri Lankan batsmen namely Pathum Nissanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva in an over.

Earlier, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first against India in the Asia Cup final in Colombo.

While expressing his views after the toss, Sri Lanka team captain Dasun Shanaka said that there might be some turn in the afternoon, but it looked like a good batting track nevertheless.

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said that he would have batted first as well, but he hoped to put pressure on the Lankan batters early on.

The match was resumed after a brief halt as the ground was covered due to the dark clouds hovering over the match venue.
