#5 Lasith Malinga, Sri Lanka vs New Zealand

The ICC World T20 2012 group stage match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand was the 7th T20I to end in a tie and the Black Caps had been part of 4 of them. New Zealand batting first scored 178, their highest total against Sri Lanka till then. Thanks to solid innings from Dilshan and Mahela, Sri Lanka reached 178 but couldnt get that single that woul have given them an outright win.

Tim Southee took the ball against Jayawardene and Perera. Southee bowled atight line to the batsmen and didnt concede any boundaries, but the batsmen still scored 13 runs. McCullum and Guptill stood at the crease to chase those 14 runs and there was no doubting that Slinga Malinga would be bowling the Super Over. The Kiwis managed only 6 runs off the first 4 balls and Malinga held his nerve and got a wicket on the next delivery thussealing the match for Sri Lanka.
