Mohammed Siraj brought Sri Lanka down to their knees in just the first six overs of the match by picking a five-wicket haul.
Jasprit Bumrah started off with a wicket off the third ball and then Siraj just blew the top off the opposition's batting lineup by taking four wickets in the fourth over alone. He then came back and dismissed Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka, thus completing his five-wicket haul in just his third over.
Sri Lanka were thus left reeling at 12/6 in 5.4 overs at that point. Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first.
