Time for the presentation ceremony.

Ahsan: "@Usman: In the list of Cricinfo's Most Valuable Players of the Match, Saim is at number 1 and Babar at 6. So here is your answer."

Usman: "Saim 4-0-17-1 and 36 (33). Babar 3 catches and 37* (34). Both involved in dismissing top-scorer Mishara. Who will he MOTM?"

The first tournament/multi-team series final win for Pakistan in Pakistan, Sampath tells me. They previous played three ODI tri-series finals and an Asian Test Championship final at home, and lost all of them.

9.18pm A bit of a hiccup towards the end but Babar takes Pakistan home. He finishes on 37 not out off 34 balls, the sort of innings the situation demanded. The win, of course, was set by Pakistan's spinners: Abrar, Nawaz and Ayub. At one point, Sri Lanka looked good for 170, perhaps even more. But the trio put the brakes on the scoring rate with regular strikes. Sri Lanka needed a miracle after being bowled out for 114. There wasn't one.
