In the 2023 Asia Cup final, India's Mohammed Siraj dominated as Sri Lanka, the co-hosts, were bowled out for 50. India chased down the total in only 6.1 overs to clinch the ODI-format Asia Cup.
3. UAE – 57 vs India (T20)
On Wednesday (10 Sep 2025), the UAE were bowled out for 57 against a stern Indian bowling attack. UAE didn’t stand a chance against a formidable Indian attack as the Men in Blue won by nine wickets, chasing the 58-run target in 4.1 overs.
4. UAE – 81/9 vs India (T20)
In the Asia Cup 2016, MS Dhoni’s Indian side showed no mercy on the opposition as the UAE were restricted to 81/9 in 20 overs. In reply, India won the match in 10.1 overs, registering a famous victory in the tournament.
