Star pacer Mohammed Siraj scalped four wickets in a single over to rattle Sri Lankan batting lineup after a rain-delayed start in the Asia Cup final 2023 at the R. Premadasa stadium on Sunday. He later made it five after dismissing captain Dasun Shanaka in the sixth over.

The Dasun Shanaka-led side were tottering at 12-5 in five overs in Colombo after electing to bat first in their bid for another title in the 50-over edition of the tournament, a precursor to the forthcoming ODI World Cup scheduled to be held in India.
