IPL 2019: 3 best spells by Lasith Malinga

#2 - 4/16 v Deccan Chargers, 2012

Malinga completely shattered the Deccan Chargers line-up with his spell of 4/16

The 40th match of the Indian Premier League of 2012 was played on 29 April at Mumbai. The fans witnessed the two top teams in Mumbai Indians and the now-defunct Deccan Chargers battle it out with each other. However, ultimately the match became a lopsided affair because of Malinga’s top-class spell.

Batting first, Deccan Chargers lost all of their wickets at the score of just 100 runs due to the fiery bowling line-up of the Mumbai side. Malinga stole the show as he completely shattered the opposition batting line-up with his quick yorkers and wily change of pace. He bowled a mind-boggling spell in that match, taking four wickets for just 16 runs.

He took the crucial wicket of Cameron White on the first ball itself and turned the match in favorr of the home side, which they ultimately won by five wickets.
