Yesterday (07), an inexperienced, young Sri Lanka outfit did something their predecessors couldn’t; which is winning a T20I series against Pakistan. Everyone was left shell-shocked with the quality and intent shown by these young lions to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 at Lahore vs the No. 01 ranked T20 side.

Unsurprisingly, few were surprised about the unheard stars and many have been praising them all over social media.

After enduring so much of humiliation and insults and down turns in T 20 cricket, it’s such super feeling, not just because Sri Lanka won the series but due to the potential the team holds for the future.

Congratulations SL on a historic series win,for all the talk about SL sending a “B side” this is a pretty special performance.Pak,some questionable selection for sure. A lot to reflect.. #PakvSL

Excellent performance by Sri Lanka. Their first ever T20 series win against Pakistan. They have found a new hero in Rajapaksa too. Beating the number one team at their home. Well played Islanders ??
