Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup, Live Updates: Babar Azam failed to deliver to a big performance as he was bowled out by Wanindu Hasaranga. Chamika Karunaratne scalped the precious wicket of Fakhar Zaman after Wanindu Hasaranga took a fabulous catch on the boundary line. After the dismissal of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan came a little back on track with Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman playing some good shots. Currently, Pakistan’s score read at 74/3 after 11.0 overs. Debutant Pramod Madushan provided Sri Lanka with their first breakthrough, as he dismissed Rizwan for 14 runs. Earlier, skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to field against Pakistan. Pakistan will be playing without Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah, as they have included Usman Qadir and Hassan Ali in the Playing XI. This clash will act like a practice match before the final on Sunday between the two teams. Both the teams thrashed India and Afghanistan to pave their way into the summit clash of the tournament. After being out of form for some matches, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam will look to redeem himself in today’s match. It will be interesting to see that which side will be putting their best foot forward. (Live Scorecard)

PAK vs SL: Pitch Report
We’ve seen the track record – you win the toss, you bowl first. But hats off to the curator, this is a replica of the India Afghanistan surface. It is a good batting surface, but wrist spinners will have a big say on this surface. Excited to see how Usman Qadir fares, but this is a surface where 1,2.3 can get a lot of runs, said Sanjay Manjrekar.

PAK vs SL: Here’s what Babar Azam said at the toss
We would have also bowled first. Two changes – Shadab and Naseem are not playing, Usman Qadir and Hasan Ali are in. Shadab should be fit for the final, we just wanted to rest them to try a different combination before the final.

PAK vs SL: Here’s what Dasun Shanaka said at the toss
We’ll bowl first. Been lucky with the toss, you never know what will happen. But it’s been our charm to bowl first. It’s good we are playing Pakistan once before the final. Two changes – DDS coming in for Asalanka, and Pramod Madushan making his debut for Asitha Fernando. We need to try our best XI before the World Cup and the final.
