The nightmarish performance in the IND vs SL Asia Cup 2023 Final has Sri Lanka post the lowest score in Asia Cup history. Mohammed Siraj’s four wickets in the fourth over of the match saw Sri Lanka being reduced to 12 for 5.
The forgettable performance from the Lankans means that they have broken a 23-year-old record created by Bangladesh.
| Team | Score | Overs | Opposition | Ground | Match Date |
| Sri Lanka | 50 | 15.2 | India | Colombo (RPS) | 17 Sep 2023 |
| Bangladesh | 87 | 34.2 | Pakistan | Dhaka | 2 Jun 2000 |
| Bangladesh | 94 | 35.3 | Pakistan | Moratuwa | 31 Mar 1986 |
| Sri Lanka | 96 | 41.0 | India | Sharjah | 8 Apr 1984 |
| Bangladesh | 99 | 45.0 | India | Chattogram | 27 Oct 1988 |
India, who would become Asia Cup champions for the 7th time, did something similar to Sri Lanka in the first edition of the event in 1984. The Men in Blue restricted Lanka to just 96, the then-record lowest score in the Asia Cup.
Sri Lanka record their 2nd lowest and 10th overall lowest score in ODIs
Unfortunately, Sri Lanka also created another record as they were skittled out for just 50 by India.
Lanka’s registered their second-lowest score in ODI cricket. The only good fortune they had in the miserable outing was that they did not break their own record of lowest score (43 runs).
| Team | Score | Overs | Opposition | Ground | Match Date |
| Sri Lanka | 43 | 20.1 | South Africa | Paarl | 11 Jan 2012 |
| Sri Lanka | 50 | 15.2 | India | Colombo (RPS) | 17 Sep 2023 |
| Sri Lanka | 55 | 28.3 | West Indies | Sharjah | 3 Dec 1986 |
| Sri Lanka | 67 | 24.0 | England | Manchester | 28 May 2014 |
| Sri Lanka | 73 | 22.0 | India | Thiruvananthapuram | 15 Jan 2023 |
The total of 50 by Sri Lanka is also the 10th lowest score in the history of ODI cricket.
