The series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka came to an end last night and Sri Lanka rose to victory white-washing Pakistan. And even though the country is really happy about international cricket coming back to Pakistan, people are also disappointed in the fact that Pakistan couldn’t win on their home ground. And the internet has a lot of things to say!
The Sri Lankan team especially thanked Pakistan and the crowd:
"It's a good victory. Thanks to the Pakistan crowd, they supported not just the home team but us as well. All the players bond well in our team and that is our key to success. They are very talented and I think unity is the secret behind our success." – Dasun Shanka #PAKvSL pic.twitter.com/w7RAk0L9rd

Shoaib Akhtar too had a lot to say:
Its so disheartening to see Pakistan lose like this. If i was Misbah, i would pick up the pieces from here & rebuild.
Have to make a combination of new & experienced. A combination that works.
I hope we do a solid rebuilding from here.— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) October 9, 2019
Agreed!
Well played sri lanka,, pak should learn ,,big names are not important,, performance matters #PAKvsSL

We all have a certain joker in our lives:

People also thought how the team was just doesn’t right:
This team is behaving different and full of negativity. no one seems enjoying.Sarfaraz should be criticized on his batting but its the management that has disturbed the environment.Misbah has to take responsibility,you asked for it you answer aswell #PAKvsSL
— Faysal (@FaysalAlavi) October 9, 2019
People were still in disbelief:
Poor Very Poor from Pakistan. Losing from a team which is standing on No 8 right now. Disappointed. No Hard hitters. Sarfaraz not sure what to do. Can't believe Pakistan got clean Sweep. #PAKvSL #PAKvsSL

People were questioning Sarfaraz’s captaincy as well:
Hopefully by the end of this series, it will be end of Shehzad, akmal's career and pcb should seriously think about sarfaraz's captaincy. #PAKvsSL
— ماریہ♡ (@xyzmariaa) October 9, 2019
Hahahahaha #Sarfaraz when will you realise your cricket & game is over, danm it its over for God Sake Leave with any dignity if you have left any! #PAKvsSL #PakVsSri

Some had better plans for him:
Someone send Sarfaraz Ahmed to Manchester United. #PAKvsSL

People came forward to support Sarfaraz:
I dont think Safraz is to blame.
He is the only captain to win so many series. Infact set world record for consecutive wins in 2To series.
Its poor team selection, results in poor team moral. Hence the results #PAKvsSL
— Afzal افضل (@AfzalQadiri) October 9, 2019
Sarfaraz is the same captain who won 10 series in a row…. so go slow on him #PAKvsSL
— Shavaiz Khan (@shavaizkhn) October 9, 2019
People were coming to support Misbah as well:
Give a chance to misbah, that was a first series. He played with these guys. He knows the psychy of these players everyone needs time so as misbah#PAKvsSL
— Fawad abbasi (@FawadNaj) October 9, 2019
Ye jo aj misbah ko log galian de rahe hena agle T20 worldcup me iski tareefain ker rahe honge yehi log. Dont forget he made Islamabad United as champion of PSL 1st edition. #PAKvsSL
— muzamil.shoukat (@muzsays) October 9, 2019
Many think that everyone’s to blame:
There's too much wrong with this Pakistan team for the coach to be solely blamed. Sarfu's dead batting, no good spinner, no hitter, one hit and miss opener, I could go on and on… #PAKvsSL
