Pakistan, the number 1 T20 side, got a cricketing lesson from an inexperienced Sri Lankan side when they suffered a 64-run defeat in the first Twenty20 international at the Gaddafi Stadium before a full house.

Sri Lanka received a boost from opener Danushka Gunathilaka who struck a half century as Sri Lanka posted 165 for the loss of 5 wickets.

Chasing a modest victory target of 166, skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and his charges were all bundled out at 101 in 17.4 overs.

The stunning victory gave the visitors 1-Nil lead in the three-match series.
