Records tumbled as India prevailed over hosts Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final of the Asia Cup to lift the title after a gap of five years.

Here is a look at the records that were scripted during the match.

"Big Shoutout to the Unsung Heroes of Cricket! The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) are proud to announce a well-deserved prize money of USD 50,000 for the dedicated curators and groundsmen at Colombo and Kandy," Shah wrote on 'X', formerly twitter.
Mohammed Siraj was close to perfection in the Asia Cup 2023 final against Sri Lanka. Under overcast conditions in Colombo, the Indian cricket team pacer breathed fire as he mercilessly ripped apart Sri Lanka's top order in the title clash on Sunday. Courtesy Siraj's dream opening spell, India ripped apart Sri Lanka for 50 in the Asia Cup 2023 final. Over the years, there have been some outstanding fast bowlers in Indian cricket, and the team's performance in the limited-overs format has been greatly influenced by their abilities.
Mohammed Siraj conjured a magical spell of seam and swing bowling with magnificent figures of 6 for 21 as India crushed Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to lift the Asia Cup title after a gap of five years. This was India's seventh Asia Cup title and also their biggest victory (263 balls) in ODIs in terms of balls remaining. Siraj's astonishing effort saw defending champions Sri Lanka getting bundled out for 50. India did not bat an eyelid in the chase, as Shubman Gill (27) and Ishan Kishan (23) did the job in just 6.1 overs.
The complex questions that Mohammed Siraj asked during his dream spell of 6 for 21 was most due to the simple things that he was able to do perfectly on what turned out to be a Super Sunday for the Indian cricket team. Perhaps, he was destined to have a day like this, said the Hyderabadi. "Jitna naseeb mein hota hai wahi milta, aaj mera naseeb tha (You get what's in our destiny, today it was my destiny)," Siraj summed up the mood while talking to broadcasters in the mid-innings break.
