Pakistan has been bundled out for 121 in a dead rubber game of the Asia Cup Super Four against Sri Lanka at Dubai International Stadium.

After put into bat first, the Men in Green started well and scored 49 in the powerplay, but Sri Lankan spinners caused havoc in the middle overs.

Babar Azam and his men collapsed horribly and couldn't form a partnership. Babar scored 29-ball 30 while Mohammad Nawaz chipped in with 18-ball 26.

Meanwhile, legendary pacer Wasim Akram slammed Pakistan batters for their below-average approach. Sultan of Swing emphasized that the batters lacked attitude.

"Below average batting," Wasim said while commentating on the game. " In general, the attitude was not there, they were not willing to take doubles by targeting the longer part of the ground, they only looked to clear the boundary against the spin," he added.

It must be noted that both teams will again face each other in the final on Sunday at the same venue
