Rain delayed the match after Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and decided to bat against India in the Asia Cup 2023 Final. India picked Washinton Sundar in the playing XI in place of the injured Axar Patel. On the other side, Sri Lanka included Dushan Hemantha in place of the injured Maheesh Theekshana.

Sira's riot began with the wicket of Nissanka. The in-form Samarawickrama was then trapped leg-before for a two-ball duck before Charith Asalanka became the next target. De Silva didn't let Siraj complete the hat-trick but he returned with a brilliant delivery that ended as a caught-behind wicket.

Siraj continued his impressive spell and bagged a five-wicket haul. Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka lost his wicket for a four-ball duck in his third over. Mohammed Siraj also equaled former Sri Lanka pacer Chaminda Vaas for the quickest ODI five-for, reaching the feat in just 16 balls. Vaas achieved the milestone against Bangladesh in 2003. He ended with six wickets after picking up the wicket of Kusal Mendis.

3.1 Siraj to Nissanka - OUT: Jadeja took a brilliant catch. A length ball from Siraj, just outside off didn't connect with the bat very well and Jadeja dived to his right to catch it low with both hands

3.6 Siraj to Dhananjaya - OUT: Fourth wicket for Siraj in the over. Sri Lanka 12 for 5! A slightly fuller than good length with the seam pointing towards the deep third. Dhananjaya pushed it away from the body. The ball moved away to take a faint outside edge and Rahul completed a regulation catch.
