Just the best tweets from the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20 match in Lahore

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.
