The prize money amounted to USD 5,000 or approximately Rs 4.15 Lakhs. Additionally, both the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) had jointly announced a generous award of USD 50,000, equivalent to Rs 41.54 Lakhs, for the ground staff members at Kandy and Colombo.

Kuldeep Yadav won the title of Player of the Tournament (Man of the Series) and Mohammad Siraj won the title of Player of the Match or Man of the Match.

India Won the Asia Cup 2023 Title

Mohammed Siraj earned the Man of the Match award in the final due to his remarkable performance, securing figures of 6/21. Notably, he took four wickets in a single over, a feat that ranks as the fourth-best by an Indian player in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj won the Man of the Match prize for his stupendous bowling performance against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final on Sunday but he dedicated the money to the groundstaff at Colombo.

The ground staff at the R Premadasa Stadium exhibited unwavering commitment by working tirelessly to ensure that the Asia Cup proceeded as scheduled, despite the region experiencing heavy rainfall. At one point, there were discussions about relocating the tournament away from Colombo due to the adverse weather conditions. However, the decision was made to continue in Colombo. To account for unforeseen weather disruptions, a reserve day was added for the final match after the India-Pakistan encounter was washed out by rain during the group stage.

Earlier in the day, the Asian Cricket Council and the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) offered a $50,000 cash reward for the country’s groundsmen and pitch curators at Colombo and Kandy.
