Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka): 5/56 vs Pakistan (Mirpur, 2010)
One of Slinga-Malinga’s best bowling performances came in the first match of the Asia Cup 2010 against Pakistan in Mirpur. The pacer took five wickets for 56 runs in his 10 overs, helping Sri Lanka win by 16 runs while defending 242 runs. The pacer removed five of the top six Pakistani batsmen and broke the back of the batting lineup. Unfortunately, no other bowler supported Malinga, and Pakistan got to 260, but Sri Lanka eventually won the game by five wickets.
