Malinga rattled Scotland with a fifer

After a heart-breaking loss in the finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, Sri Lanka were in Scotland for a tri-series against the hosts and Ireland. In the third ODI, the hosts won the toss and chose to bowl first.

Sri Lanka scored 284-7 in 50 overs, on the back of Jayawardene's 64 and Karunaratne's 60. When Scotland came out to bat, Malinga destroyed the top order dismissing top 3 batsmen. The hosts were bundled out for just 101 runs, thanks to Malinga's heroics.

Malinga finished the game with 5 wickets for 30 runs. This was his third fifer in ODI cricket and with this win, Sri Lanka won the tri-series.
