Just stop this. No one in their right mind would believe that the matches were fixed. If you think so, then I am 100% sure that you didn't watched the matches. In the past, a lot of players have got banned for match fixing. And among them were players such as Mohammed Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja of India and Hansie Cronje of South Africa. I don't know how you can blame Pakistan as a team.
Match fixing is not worth the risk now. Nowadays the players are really well, and they won't be ready to risk their career for very small amounts. That was not the case earlier, and some of the players who had financial issues were unfortunate enough to fell in to the trap set by the fixers. I can confidently say that match fixing has become obsolete during the last 10-12 years.

Also i do admit that Pakistan did not play well and Srilanka turn out to be a better team among the two. I just shared a news which i heard.
And when I asked for your source you gave none... Do you know what it can lead to for your team if it turns out to be true? Expect a ban on Pakistan to play International Cricket for at least a Decade and getting ripped of Test Status and so on. BTW I'm still waiting for that source of yours...
You are taking this too far.
You should know that these are speculation and there is no source for them.
Remember what happen in the last world cup ?
Match fixing is an old game and no one gets ban from it because no clue is left behind and you are asking for source

I am getting some inside news as the T20 series was fixed and Pakistan board didn't want srilanka team to went empty handed 
You seem to never learn from your past mistakes. Why do you always mix politics and Cricket? This fixed matches bullshit is simply another excuse and you need to accept the fact that Sri Lanka were the better team through and through in the T-20 series.This young Sri Lankan team has overcome many obstacles and deserve the praise they are getting at the moment(Hasaranga etc). Instead of coming up with excuses all the time, try and encourage your team to improve and move forward.

To Rest of you boys! This is a cricket discussion thread, not a political one. We will see what the future holds for Pakistan. So keep your opinions to yourself or get your asses to the political discussion board if you want to talk about politics. Let's keep this thread Civil!
Yeah but if anyone tries to paint a wrong picture of your country, then you have the right to clean in within the same thread.

GTFOH! with that bullshit. What are your sources? Why didn't they do this for the windies who visited them or Zimbabwe?
What sort of BS? Anyone who had watched the series on TV would never dare to type something like this. You are not only insulting the Pakistanis by calling them match fixers, but you are also insulting the Sri Lankans by casting doubt over their performance. Players such as Wanindu Hasaranga performed brilliantly in Pakistan and that's how they won. Now please don't tarnish the reputation of this thread by posting bull crap like this.
That said, Pakistan needs to introspect very deeply. It was really humiliating to get swept 0-3 by a weakened Sri Lankan squad, which lacked many of the star players. And the loss in the T20 series was least expected, because recently Pakistan had such a good record in that format. Some hard decisions needs to be made. Players like Umar Akmal needs to be permanently kicked out of the team.

Well.. no one can blame a particular team if they refuse to tour Pakistan. Terrorist attacks do happen in that country frequently. And Pakistan is not one of the top 3 countries in cricket for other nations to think about the revenue loss if they don't tour that country. Even many of the star Sri Lankan players had opted out of the tour due to security concerns.
@Vishnu.Reang spot on analysis mate Pakistan needs to tackle terrorism first, before they can expect other countries to visit them.
There are no terrorists attack in Pakistan. There is no need for you to spread the wrong image.
And i hope you won't be
This is yet another example to prove the argument that in international cricket, you can't take any opponent for granted, what many advantages you have. You can't even take teams such as Scotland and Netherlands for granted in T20 (as England found out multiple times), and I guess Sri Lanka is a step ahead of these teams.
This proves that when it comes to T20 matches you can underestimate any teams and it is very difficult to wage a bet on any team, i never expected a white wash in the T20 format considering the rankings and no one would believe if someone said that Srilanka will win a single match at the start of the series let alone a washout. I wonder what the odds would have being for Srilanka winning all the matches.I hope that now the PCB can get more tours from the other nations.
That is really doubtful as majority of the teams will not be bold enough to tour Pakistan.Srilankan team has won our hearts and my respect as not only did they take the risk of going to play in Pakistan, but they also managed to defeat them despite not playing at full strength.

Your last starment is completely biased as now in recent few months Pakistan is much better and safe authorties are doing hard work for this all but still have very few problems and these are not internal probably these are external and have links in Afghanistan and India so we can hope that few teams will be in Pakistan in near future for more sports and cricket.
I am not comfortable to visit any of the countries you specified even as a tourist because of the security concerns, not sure what they are fighting against killing and terrorizing people, what is saw in the media is that the terrorist even issued a warning that they will attack if any team visit Pakistan and i am not aware of the ground reality as all these news are through the media. I am not here insulting any nations but all i can say is the things that are reported in the media.

I am not sure whether Misbah alone was behind the decision to drop Fakhar Zaman for the first T20 match, but it was one of the horrible mistakes that they made. They replaced him with Ahmed Shehzad, and he had such a pathetic performance. They brought back Fakhar for the second T20, but his morale was down after being dropped earlier (and he performed exceptionally well during the ODI series). I guess had Fakhar opened the batting with Babar Azam for the first match, the outcome would have been different. The first match was very crucial and Sri Lanka gained the upper hand by winning it. Another poor decision was with the inclusion of Umar Akmal. I don't understand why he was called back all of a sudden.
Forget about the Misbah at the moment. Pakistani team has so many good players in the team yet they did not perform to their level.

Pakistan cricket board and the government is trying their best to restart their tarnished history of security but it is not going to be easy as the world saw what happened with the Srilankan team last time when they were ambushed by terrorist and if a sports team is not safe then how can you trust the general security in visiting in country and none of the top teams will visit them and even the ICC will not force any cricketing board to visit them.

The T20 series was a big mistake for Pakistan , i thought that Pakistan will play well and i never considered this kind of performance from Sri Lanka as the entire media was telling about the B team being sent because of security issues and with the T20 world cup coming up and the T20 ranking will not make you think twice. Pakistan still retains the no.1 ranking for T20, but the 0-3 whitewash by Sri Lanka is going to leave them volte-faced.

But my personal opinion is that this tour was a grand success. The first match was washed out, but the remaining ones got completed without a single issue. The crowd participation was fantastic and even the Sri Lankan players acknowledged the sporting behavior of the crowd during the post-match presentation ceremony. I hope that now the PCB can get more tours from the other nations.
