evidence: Sri Lanka played their first Twenty20 International (T20I) match at the Rose Bowl, on 15 June 2006, against England, winning the match by 2 runs.[9] In 2014, they won the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, defeating India by 6 wickets.[10] As of 10 July 2018, Sri Lanka have played 108 T20I matches and won 54 of them; 52 were lost and 1 tied and 1 no result match as well.[11] [...] Since the retirement of three legends (Sangakkara, Mahela and Dilshan), Sri Lankan strength collapsed in a regular manner. With the start of 2016-17 cricket season just after the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, Sri Lanka showed a clear decrease in all three formats of the game, hence moved deeper in the ICC Rankings. In the year 2017, Sri Lanka played 13 Tests, 29 ODIs and 15 T20Is. In 13 Tests, Sri Lanka won 4 and lost 7 matches. In 29 ODIs, Sri Lanka only won 5 and lost 23 matches including three 5-0 whitewashes. In 15 T20Is, they won 5 and lost 10 matches. At the start of 2017, Sri Lanka was in a tour for South Africa and already lost the test series. Sri Lanka won the T20I series 2–1, their first ever series win in any format in South Africa,[278] despite South Africa have been rested many major players for the series. The ODI series was not so good however, where they faced a 5-0 whitewash.[279]
