A selection of the best reactions to #cricketcomeshome
Updated 30 Oct, 2017

Last night's cricket match at Lahore's Gadaffi Stadium offered a much-needed dose of positivity as Shoaib Malik smashed a quick-fired 52 against Sri Lanka in the third and last T20 international, giving Pakistan a clean sweep victory 3-0 in the series.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Najam Sethi dubbed the match "historic".

And it certainly was, as the match marked the first time a major cricket team visited Pakistan since the Sri Lankan team were targeted in a deadly ambush in 2009.

As much jubiliation was seen online as it was offline. A selection of the best reactions to #cricketcomeshome:

When Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik had the cutest exchange

When Pakistani cricketers praised the Sri Lankan team for their commitment to cricket

When these people pointed out who the real winner was

The heartwarming revelation

When Pakistani celebs rallied around the cricket team too
