India clinched their record 8th Asia Cup title after thrashing Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final. Chasing just 51, openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan comfortably steered India to victory in just 5.3 overs, marking the lowest ever total in an ODI Asia Cup final. The sensational win was scripted by pacer Mohammed Siraj's match-winning 6 wicket haul, demolishing Sri Lanka for 73 in 22 overs, their lowest ODI total against India. Siraj's incisive bowling, including a stunning 4-wicket maiden over, proved decisive in difficult conditions. His 6/21 was instrumental in bowling out Sri Lanka for a paltry score, enabling India's crushing 10-wicket triumph to seize the Asia Cup crown.
