Asela Gunarathne did the impossible! Social media reacts to Sri Lanka’s victory.

Needing 36 runs off 12 deliveries after Sri Lanka landed themselves in a devastating 138/7, lone-warrior Asela Gunarathne smashed a 46 ball 84 runs to take the lions to a breathtaking victory at the Geelong Stadium.

When everything was not going Sri Lanka’s way with a parade of dismissals in the top order, it was the 31-year-old playing his only 6th T20 international who resurrected the hopes to bring home victory and the series in the final ball of the match.

Social Media was a buzz as the Sri Lankan fans who were having literal heart-attacks went on to celebrate another unbelievablewin in Melbourne.

From the commentary box, it was Russell Arnold who kept the Lankan hope going strong and believing in a win.  He had every right to celebrate after his wish came true.
