In a shocking turn of events at the Asia Cup 2023 Final, Sri Lanka faced an unprecedented collapse against India, recording their lowest total in ODIs against their rivals.
Batting first, Sri Lanka endured a nightmarish innings, managing to muster a mere 50 runs before losing all their wickets. This dismal performance not only marked the lowest total ever recorded by Sri Lanka against India but also stands as the second-lowest in Sri Lanka’s ODI history.
The astonishingly brief innings was also notable for being one of the shortest for a full member nation in ODIs. The Sri Lankan side’s decision to bat first proved to be costly as they ended with the third-lowest total for a team opting to bat in an ODI match.
However, amidst the gloom, there was a silver lining for Sri Lanka. They managed to surpass their own previous lowest score in ODIs, which stood at 43 runs.
