After a long wait of six years, Sri Lanka manged to pull off a T20 series win against Pakistan, currently the top ranked T20 team in international cricket. The win is special for the team and fans alike, considering how several senior players refused to participate citing security concerns, further weakening what was considered to be an already weak side.
But against all odds, this ‘second-string’ team, as it was widely portrayed, managed to convincingly beat Pakistan, setting alight hopes of a long-awaited resurgence of the #LankanLions.
