India's pace bowler Mohammed Siraj scalped six wickets to remove the Sri Lankan top order batting dismissing the entire squad for a humiliating 50.

Siraj removed Pathun Nissanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva in the 4th over to put Sri Lanka on the mat with 12/5.

In 6th over as well, Siraj was on fire cleaning up Captain Dasun Shanaka with a beauty and doing the Ronaldo celebration thereof.
