LIVE India vs Sri Lanka Final Asia Cup 2023: Sri Lanka Coach Chris Silverwood After Disappointing Show
"It has been below par, the get bowled out the way we did is disappointing. Today we came up against a very high class bowling attack, Siraj and Bumrah were exceptional, they bowl at a good pace as well. But at the same time, this is our lacking as well. We came in here with some younger bowlers, we’ve seen some of them shine. Sadeera and Pathirana have really come through. I think we need to sleep on this and make some decisions tomorrow, best to assess this in the morning and discuss with the other coaching staff as well."

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka Final Asia Cup 2023: Hardik Pandya After Winning Asia Cup
"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."

"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. Gill and Ishan got done with the chase. I think it was more of a combination how we are going to play in the World Cup. KL (Rahul) scoring that ton against Pakistan, what a comeback for him. 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."

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka Final Asia Cup 2023: KL Rahul On Sensational Comeback
'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. I have been playing in Bangalore since four months, beautiful wickets for batting there. Happy that I got to spend time in the middle, it was a good challenge. Playing spin will be important in the middle overs in the World Cup, looking forward to that challenge. It's good to play games where bowlers get help. Siraj was phenomenal. He did the job for us, and everyone else chipped in as well. We'll take this win.'

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka Final Asia Cup 2023: Ishan Kishan After Opening The Batting Again
'The bowlers were on point today. I would like to give credit to bowlers. Siraj and Bumrah. It's not easy to bat in the second innings. We were prepared for any challenge, we spoke about it in the team meetings. I always love to open, the total wasn't much, so it was a big yes (when asked to open) from my side. Can't do much when you have only 50 runs on the board. But thanks to the skipper. We know our roles, we know how to prepare for the World Cup. We are playing against Australia, and I will be batting in the middle-order.'

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka Final Asia Cup 2023: Huge Win For Team India
The sky lit up with fireworks, but they couldn't match the spectacle that unfolded earlier today courtesy of Mohammed Siraj. It was an extraordinary display of bowling that could be cherished in any format of the game. Within a single over, he snatched four wickets, ultimately amassing figures of 6/21 in a 7-over spell, leaving Sri Lanka in disarray. The initial drizzle offered some swing, and Siraj masterfully capitalized on it, a stark contrast to his previous average of about 10 against Sri Lanka. No one could have predicted such a comprehensive improvement. Siraj's demolition work, coupled with India's commanding victory, has left the Premadasa Stadium in a state of shock and awe.

"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 drive."

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka Final Asia Cup 2023: The Siraj Show
Mohammad Siraj's sensational bowling performance has left Sri Lanka in disarray, resulting in their lowest-ever ODI total against India. While Bumrah struck early by dismissing Kusal Perera, it was Siraj who stole the spotlight with his exceptional display. His mastery over swing and seam movement left the Sri Lankan batsmen utterly baffled. In a mere 90 minutes, Siraj accomplished a series of record-breaking feats, culminating in a remarkable six-wicket haul. The turning point of the match occurred when he secured four wickets in a single over, sealing Sri Lanka's fate. Hardik Pandya, following Siraj's lead, contributed by taking three wickets, ensuring Sri Lanka's total was limited to a mere 50 runs. Now, the question remains: How swiftly can India chase this target? Stay tuned to find out shortly.
