Pramod Madushan to Babar Azam, OUT! TAKEN! Pramod Madushan draws first blood! He gets rid of the Pakistan skipper now. Babar Azam's disappointing Asia Cup comes to an end. It was a poor ball, to be honest. A length ball, down the leg side. Babar Azam looks to just help this one short fine leg. But he ends up chipping it towards the fielder there. Dilshan Madushanka jumps and takes a good catch.

Fakhar Zaman drives this one away from his body. But the ball goes off the inside edge and back onto the stumps. Pramod Madushan is on a hat-trick!

Pramod Madushan has his third wicket.
