Malinga 0-37(4 ov)
16.6
Malinga to Warner, FOUR, Australia are only a hit away from the 200-run mark. Malinga misses out on his yorker this time around, ends up bowling a half-volley. Warner doesn't miss out on the chance and drills it through covers with excellent timing. With three more overs to go, can he bring up his maiden T20I century?
16.5
Malinga to Warner, 2 runs, all the fielders are close to boundary and the batsmen are making the most of it. This was bowled full by Malinga and Warner squeezed it into the gap at mid-wicket with a gentle flick, two more to the tally
16.4
Malinga to Maxwell, 1 run, clears his front leg and squeezes the overpitched delivery to deep extra cover does Maxwell
16.3
Malinga to Maxwell, no run, another one of those reverse scoops attempted, but Malinga does well to nail his yorker outside off, beaten
16.2
Malinga to Maxwell, FOUR, the Big show is into his 40s. Goes deep back in his crease and thrashes the widish delivery through covers, first beats the fielder inside the ring and then manages to beat the sprinter in the deep too
16.1
Malinga to Maxwell, 2 runs, the yorker by Malinga, dipping into the batsman, Maxwell jams it straight down the ground, challenges the fielder's arm and manages to come back for two'
14.6
Malinga to Warner, 2 runs, short and wide outside off, Warner reaches out for it with a cut and manages to end the over with two more. Another expensive over, 13 runs in this one
14.5
Malinga to Warner, FOUR, Malinga's not pleased with the fielder at point, thinks this should've been stopped. Was the slower one with width on offer and the southpaw slices it with finesse to beat the fielder's dive inside the ring, no one in the deep and that shall be another easy boundary for Australia. Runs are leaking as Lanka are bleeding boundaries..
14.4
Malinga to Warner, no run, shimmies down the wicket but gets yorked as Malinga goes full, Warner can do nothing more than squeezing it back to the bowler
14.3
Malinga to Maxwell, 1 run, right into the blockhole, one of those toe-crushers by the veteran, Maxwell digs it through square leg and gets a single
14.3
Malinga to Maxwell, wide, Malinga's feeling the pressure. Maxwell tries a premeditated shot, probably the scoop but the bowler ends up bowling a wayward delivery down the leg side, a high full toss and it's an easy wide call
14.2
Malinga to Maxwell, FOUR, Australia have got the midas touch, it seems. Everything is going to the boundary, even the mishits, even the edges. A slower one by Malinga, Maxwell swings early and gets a top-edge that flies over the keeper's head, almost went the distance
14.1
Malinga to Warner, 1 run, slow and wide outside off, Warner reaches out for it with a slice to short third man
2.6

2.5
Malinga to Warner, no run, 133.5kph, the full inswinging yorker. Squeezed away, point
2.4
Malinga to Finch, 1 run, 132.6kph, a checked punch on the up, high elbows et al. There's a short cover, but alas, he's misfielding
2.3
Malinga to Finch, no run, 130.2kph, away-shape, good length, middle-lined. Tucked out
2.2
Malinga to Finch, no run, a back of a length tummy-line. Finch will stay behind, high batted, blocking

0.5
Malinga to Warner, 2 runs, 133.3kph, yorker. Warner squeezes it to point, who fumbles the formality. And Warner's off on home-return
0.4
Malinga to Finch, 1 run, and more width. A better length, but the width will be. Finch can throw his hands out at it, carving it backward of the leaping point
0.3
Malinga to Finch, no run, 130.1kph, beaten. Decent enough shape, worth poking, and he does poke ..
0.2
Malinga to Finch, FOUR, 129.6kph. Real stinker this -- short, wide, and slapped away. So much so that he doesn't even bother keeping it down, through sweeper
0.1
Malinga to Finch, no run, 128.7kph, on a back of a length, some away-swing too. Finch lines it up well from inside the crease, tapping it defensively to point
