Asia Cup 2018: 5 best bowling performances of Lasith Malinga's ODI career

#4 5/34 vs Pakistan, 2010

Afridi's ton ended in a loss as Malinga picked up 5 wickets

In the first ODI of the 2010 Asia Cup at Dambulla, Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. The hosts only scored 242, as Shoaib Akhtar rattled the Sri Lankan batsmen picking up 3 wickets for 41 runs in 10 overs.

In return, Malinga, just like he usually does, provided an early breakthrough sending back the opener Salman Butt to the pavilion for nought. Shahid Afridi made a blistering century and exploded with 109 off 76 deliveries, but wickets kept falling at the other end.

In the end, Malinga finished the game picking up Asif's wicket and added yet another 5-wicket haul to his name.
