Mathews rested.

It is first time in his T20I career that Angelo Mathews has missed a match. He was on streak of 55 consecutive appearances, a world record.

The 1990s days are back.

Sat on my Dad's sofa watching Jayasuriya and De Silva bat. Sometimes feel my life's not really moved on in the last twenty years. #SLvPAK

Kapugedara making full usage of his long awaited return.

Kapugedara making the Premadasa go crazy here. He’s done that lot’s before, but this time it’s for different reasons. #SLvPak

Interesting record.

Trivia: Did you know Lasith Malinga has an unwanted record of bowling most overs (201.5) in T20 Internationals without a maiden. #SLvPak

Misbah missed it 2007 but Imad made sure Anwar and Afridi’s efforts didn’t went in vain today.

This is what Misbah should have done in September 2007 ??
