Mohammed Siraj has Sri Lanka’s numbers

Having got the better of Sri Lanka's batting lineup in the Asia Cup final, Mohammed Siraj was on fire again. Having started the spell with the new ball, Siraj got the better of Dimuth Karunaratne (0) on the first ball of the innings and looked on course for back-to-back wickets when he got Sadeera Samarawickrama caught behind. However, the new batter quickly reviewed the decision by the standing umpire upon which he was given not out. However, Samarawickrama’s joy did not last long, and was dismissed on the fifth ball of the innings for a duck. The star speedster would then scalp skipper Kusal Mendis for 1 on the first ball of his second over.

He wrapped the Sri Lankan tale in quick succession and now has 14 wickets in three matches while he is also India’s top wicket-taker in the World Cup with 45.
