When Sri Lanka last beat Pakistan, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, and Tillakaratne Dilshan were still a few years away from retirement, Philip Hughes was still alive, MS Dhoni still had one year of Test cricket left in him, Donald Trump was still three years away from becoming the President of the United States of America (USA). 

13 December 2013. Dubai. Yep! Five years, nine months and 28 days, it took this much amount of time for Sri Lanka to finally snap that sequence of a six-match losing streak, and that too against a full-strength Pakistan side in their own den. And with a team that had as many as seven players with an experience of fewer than seven T20Is, it’s an upset for the ages.
