#5 5 for 31 vs England (2012)

Five wickets in a T20 is one of the most remarkable feats a bowler can ever achieve and Lasith did exactly that against England in the T20 World Cup in 2012.

Chasing 170 to win, Malinga derailed the chase as early as in the 3rd over when he picked three wickets to hand the Lankans an early initiative.

Samit Patel was England’s lone warrior that night and Malinga came back in the 19th over to pick him as well along with England’s slim hopes. He was rightfully named the player of the match.
