India bundles out Sri Lanka for 50 in Asia Cup final
Colombo: In a stunning display of bowling prowess, Mohammad Siraj spearheaded an exceptional performance that left Sri Lanka reeling and ultimately bowled out for their lowest-ever One Day International (ODI) total against India. The Sri Lankan innings began with Jasprit Bumrah claiming the early wicket of Kusal Perera, setting the stage for Siraj's remarkable spell.
Mohammad Siraj's delivery was nothing short of exceptional, extracting considerable movement off the pitch and rendering the new ball virtually unplayable. He skillfully utilized both swing and seam movement, leaving the Sri Lankan batsmen struggling to respond. During the course of his sensational performance, Siraj etched his name into the record books by securing six crucial wickets. Particularly noteworthy was his spell during which he clinched four wickets in a single over, effectively sealing the match's fate.
Furthermore, Hardik Pandya entered the fray and contributed to Sri Lanka's downfall by securing three wickets. As a result of these combined efforts, Sri Lanka's innings unraveled rapidly, culminating in their dismissal for a mere 50 runs.

UP: 90 Bangladeshis, including 28 children, held in Mathura for illegal stay
Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.
They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.
"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.
Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.
"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.
The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.
Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
