Mohammed Siraj picked three wickets.
Charith Asalanka scored 1 runs off 24 balls.
Mohammed Siraj was breathing fire in the match 33 of the ICC World Cup 2023. India were all over Sri Lanka with the ball at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai after posting a gigantic total of 357 runs on the board.
Mohammed Siraj was the key architect behind that as he bowled impeccable lines and lengths and made Sri Lanka batters look clueless. The pacer was on the song in the game and his intensity was right up there as well.
Mohammed Siraj also made sure that he got under the skin of the opposition as well. His battle with Charith Asalanka was one of the main highlights. The fast bowler beat him again and again but failed to find the outside edge of the bat. It was then that he tried the short ball at the batter.
As Mohammed Siraj rushed him with the bouncer, he went to the batter and said something to him. The pacer continuously murmured something and diverted the attention of the batter. The Sri Lanka batter, however, passed on a smile.

Mohammed Siraj continued bowling great lines and lengths after that as Charith Asalanka had no answers to it. He kept sledging him before Mohammed Shami removed the batter in the next over. The left-hander went back in the hut for just 1 run off 24 balls.
