Pakistan captain Babar Azam rued mistakes in the batting and fielding department after their loss against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup Final.

Pakistan lost the finals of the Asia Cup at the hands of Sri Lanka in Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, 11 September. Pakistan fell 23 runs short of the 171-run target set by Dasun Shanaka's men, failing to grab the toss advantage and batting second.
Captain Babar Azam spoke about his team's mistakes in the final match and said that only Mohammad Nawaz and Naseem Shah were positives in their campaign.

"Congratulations to Sri Lanka for playing outstanding cricket. We dominated them for the first eight overs, but the partnership that Rajapaska got was amazing," Babar broke down the match.

"This was a true wicket and it is always nice playing in Dubai. We didn't bat according to our potential. We started well, but we gave away 15-20 extra runs and couldn't finish well," he further added on where the match got away.

"A lot of positives for us to take. In a final, the margin for mistakes is lesser. Our fielding wasn't up to the mark and the batting couldn't finish it off well. But Rizwan, Naseem and Nawaz were positives," the player said on the Pakistan's loss in the final.

"Ups and downs will be there, but it would be nicer if we made lesser mistakes," he concluded the post match presentation.
