- 18:30 (IST)Asia Cup Final Live: "It was a good toss to lose," says Hardik"As a group, we spoke about finishing games and throwing punches in the pressure situation. It was a good toss to lose, we wanted to bat as well. I think our new bowlers, especially Siraj bowled really well. He got it swinging and created a lot of chances. Nowadays in ODI cricket, the new ball has been swinging and we have been speaking about getting the most. The first few overs, the ball didn’t even hit the bat," said Hardik Pandya.
- 18:28 (IST)IND vs SL Live: 'Match over in the blink of an eye'"It (the match) got over within the blink of an eye. Couldn't get better than this. Bumrah started well and what a spell it was from Siraj. It was a brilliant effort from his side. Hardik got those last three wickets. It was a clinical performance by the bowlers. We feel that we are a settled side, everyone is ready to showcase their skills. Whenever I'll play I'll try to contribute for the team," said Shardul Thakur.
- 18:26 (IST)Asia Cup Final Live: What a sensational win!This was a dominating show from India! Jasprit Bumrah struck early but Mohammed Siraj just stole the show with his impeccable bowling show. He registered figures of 6 for 21 in 7 overs to pin down Sri Lanka on the mat. He killed the game in the first innings itself with the chase being a mere formality.
- 18:21 (IST)IND vs SL Live: "Siraj was phenomenal," says KL Rahul"I was a bit worried a couple of weeks ago, but got to play some good games against competitive teams. Scored runs and was good with the gloves, a few boxes ticked for me. Hopefully this continues for the next couple of months. It's good to play games where bowlers get help. (Mohammed) Siraj was phenomenal. He did the job for us, and everyone else chipped in as well. We'll take this win," said KL Rahul.
- 18:11 (IST)IND vs SL Live Score: Indian win!!!A single from Ishan Kishan on the first ball of the 7th over and India have comfortably chased down the 51-run target with 10 wickets in hand, This is India's record-extending 8th Asia Cup title. Sri Lanka follow them with six such wins to their name.
- 17:24 (IST)Asia Cup Final Live - "Feels like a dream": Siraj"Feels like a dream. Last time I did the same against Sri Lanka at Trivandrum. Got four wickets early, couldn't get the five-for. Realised you get what's in your destiny. Did not try too much today. I have always looked for swing in white-ball cricket. Did not find much in the previous games. But today it was swinging, and I got more wickets with the outswinger. Wanted to make the batters drivem" said Mohammad Siraj.
- 17:02 (IST)Live Cricket Score: Poor fielding!Dushan Hemantha got an inside edge on a Mohammed Siraj delivery and tried to take a couple. Virat Kohli who collected the throw at the striker's end, tried to hit the stumps at the other end but missed it. There was no fielder backing it and the ball ran away for a four, giving a total of six runs to Sri Lanka on the delivery. It's poor fielding as Kohli could have avoided the throw as Pramod Madushan was comfortably inside the crease.
- 16:18 (IST)Asia Cup Final Live: WICKET! Siraj - you beauty!This is sensational from Mohammed Siraj. This is insane stuff from him. He has cleaned up Dasun Shanaka with a peach of a delivery. It was a fuller ball that was shaped in into Shanaka but swung outside to rattle his off stump later. You can't blame the batter though as this delivery was simply unplayable.
- 16:08 (IST)Live Cricket Score: WICKET again for Siraj!Would you believe it? Mohammed Siraj has struck again! This time on the final ball of his over. Dhananjaya de Silva is caught behind and Siraj ends his fourth over with four wickets in it. Simply exceptional stuff this is from Siraj. Sri Lanka are on the mat.
- 16:06 (IST)IND vs SL Live Score: Funny scenes all around!Mohammed Siraj missed his hat-trick but the highlight of the delivery became something else. Dhananjaya de Silva pushed the ball down the ground. The funny part was that Siraj himself ran behind the ball to save it. However, the ball ran to the fence and all the Indian players, including Siraj, ended up in laughter.
