Malinga 1-26(4 ov)
18.6
Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, excellent return after being hit for a boundary second ball. Nails the yorker and Duminy can't do much about it, squeezes the drive to long-on and retains strike
18.5
Malinga to Miller, byes, 1 run, brilliant bowling. The off-cutter dips right on a length and Miller swings blindly across the line, misses and the ball lobs over the stumps, Dickwella does not glove it cleanly and the bye is stolen
18.4
Malinga to Miller, no run, slower delivery slanted across the left hander, Miller wanted to loft it over extra cover but is early into the shot, missed it by quite some distance and Dickwella stops it on the bounce
18.3
Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, off-pace short of length delivery and Duminy pulls to deep square leg
18.2
Malinga to Duminy, FOUR, Duminy is turning it on. He once again uses the crease to go right back and across, sets up a good base and helps the short of length delivery over short fine with a pull. This is excellent batting
18.1
Malinga to Miller, leg byes, 1 run, fast and at the legs, Miller was not expecting that and hence missed it, the ball deflects off the thigh pad to short fine leg
14.6
Malinga to van der Dussen, 1 run, off-pace delivery and van der Dussen nudges it to mid-wicket, retains strike
14.5
Malinga to Duminy, 1 run, short of length delivery, Duminy hops to ride the bounce and tucks it to square leg
14.4
Malinga to van der Dussen, 1 run, slower delivery on leg-stump, worked to mid-wicket and Malinga gives chase himself, keeps it to a single
14.3
Malinga to Hendricks, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Malinga back and he produces the wicket. The partnership is broken. Much needed for Sri Lanka but Hendricks has done his job - set up the base for a launch. Slower delivery that dips on a length, Hendricks is through the shot early and scoops it towards mid-off, Kamindu runs forward and takes a good diving catch. Hendricks c Kamindu Mendis b Malinga 65(46) [4s-9]
14.2
Malinga to van der Dussen, 1 run, dug in slower delivery and van der Dussen can't generate the pace on the pull, single to deep square leg
14.2
Malinga to van der Dussen, no ball, this is poor from the two umpires. First wasn't over the head but this was, but since the first became one for the over, this had to be called a no-ball. van der Dussen misses the pull as the slower bouncer loops over his top-edge
14.2
Malinga to van der Dussen, wide, Malinga is not happy with the decision. It was a harsh call from the side on replay. Saw the batsman advance and dug it in short, the ball goes past van der Dussen's head. Given a wide for height
14.1
Malinga to van der Dussen, FOUR, time to kick on now. Length ball outside off, van der Dussen walks forward and square drives it past point, right off the meat and the ball raced away to the fence
2.6
Malinga to van der Dussen, 2 runs, sloppy. This is where Sri Lanka need to tighten their game. Short of length delivery and van der Dussen rides the bounce before knocking it to backward point, a misfield allows them to collect a brace
2.5
Malinga to van der Dussen, no run, lovely shape on the outswinger. Right channel as well. Back of a length and in the corridor, van der Dussen was playing for the line but the swirl on that defeats the outside edge
2.4
Malinga to van der Dussen, no run, good length ball close to off-stump, van der Dussen stabs it into the off-side
2.3
Malinga to van der Dussen, no run, back of a length close to off, van der Dussen defends with an angled bat to point
2.2
Malinga to Hendricks, 1 run, outswinger and Hendricks went a bit hard as the line was outside off, the outside edge runs away to third man
2.1
Malinga to Hendricks, no run, full and attacking the stumps, Hendricks taps it back down the wicket watchfully
0.6
Malinga to Markram, 1 run, curling away outside off and Markram punches it with the swing behind point, Udana tidies up near third man
0.5
Malinga to Hendricks, 1 run, finger roller and Hendricks delays his nudge, places it to the open mid-wicket pocket
0.4
Malinga to Hendricks, no run, some movement. On a length and outside off, Hendricks has a feel for it with tentative footwork and the ball swings away to beat the outside edge. Nice carry through to Dickwella
0.3
Malinga to Hendricks, no run, goes back to the slower delivery, Hendricks punches it straight to backward point
0.2
Malinga to Hendricks, FOUR, crunched! More pace but offers width as well, Hendricks hangs back and cracks it square on the off-side,
0.1
Malinga to Markram, 1 run, starts with a typical slower delivery, off-cutter around off-stump, Markram waits before opening the bat face and steering it to third man, he's off the mark in T20Is
