After Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat today, little did they know it would be just 50 runs in 15.2 overs. This dismal total stands as the second lowest in ODI history in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan batting line-up struggled, with individual scores of 2, 0, 17, 0, 0, 4, 0, 8, 13 and 0.

In a conversation with a journalist, an enthusiastic Mohammed Siraj said that this moment is a dream come true for him. “I feel like a dream. Last time I did the same against Sri Lanka in Trivandrum. I got four wickets early, I couldn’t get five for. Realized that you get what is your destiny. I didn’t try too hard today. I have always looked for swing in white ball cricket. I didn’t find much in the previous games. But today it was swinging and I got more wickets with the outswinger. I wanted to make the batsmen drive,” Siraj said.
