Time for post match presentation ceremony

Babar Azam, Pakistan captain: We played well in both games, but the batting has not been up to the mark. But surely impressed with our fast bowlers, Pakistan has always produced good pacers - the way Hasan made a comeback today was good. This was definitely a good learning experience, we will sit back and analyze this game, and see where we can improve for Sunday.

Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka captain: Always acceptable these kind of results. The combination we have with the left-arm fast bowlers, the leg spinners - the variation we have is amazing. I think the extras were a concern in this game, and the lines the fast bowlers bowled. These are areas we can improve, if we could get early wickets in the next game that will be good.

Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaraga is the Player of the Match

Wanindu Hasaranga | Player of the Match: I'm really happy because last few games I've given up some runs, but today I've made a comeback strongly with wickets. First two overs, I just tried to bowl dot balls and build the pressure. I always look to come onto the pitch positively and give my best.
