INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
PALLEKELE, Friday & Legendary fast bowler Lasith Malinga rolled back the years to reproduce another destructive spell of bowling to relive
the moments of his four in four balls against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup when he repeated that feat against New Zealand in the third
and final T20 International at the Pallekele International Stadium yesterday to bowl Sri Lanka to a morale-boosting 37-run win.Sri Lanka
defended their moderate total of 125-8 largely through the magnificence of Malinga who bowled a destructive first spell of three overs where
he captured the first five New Zealand wickets to have them tottering at 23-5 in the fifth over
Only some late resistance from the New Zealand skipper Tim Southee named Player of the Series -28 not out off 23 balls (3 sixes) saw them
reach 88 all out in 16 overs.
