India put up a remarkable performance against Sri Lanka that will be remembered for a long time now. India chased down a low total of 51 runs against Sri Lanka to win the Asia Cup for the 8th time.

Siraj returned with figures of 6 for 21 off 7 overs on Sunday in Colombo after Dasun Shanaka won the toss and decided to bat.
