Lasith Malinga collects 10/83 across two games in two days
 

Lasith Malinga celeberates a fall of wicket of his own bowling

 
 

 

At 35 years of age, Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga is still going strong. So strong, in fact, that he’s able to play two games in two days, across two countries. The end result: combined bowling figures of 10/83!

 

On Wednesday, Malinga took the field for Mumbai Indians against Chennai Super Kings, and took 3/34 as he removed Shane Watson, Kedar Jadhav and Dwayne Bravo.

After helping his side to a 37-run victory, he then jetted off to Sri Lanka, to turn out for Galle in the domestic limited-overs tournament.

 

 

 

Rather than succumb to the fatigue of an international flight, the veteran fast bowler returned the best List A figures of his career, ripping through Kandy with 7/49 to help Galle to a 156-run win.

Malinga’s form bodes well for Sri Lanka ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, where he will make his fourth appearance at the tournament.

So Malinga is off to SL to play a few games .... MI should try the below 11:

 

de Kock

Lewis

Rohit

SKY

Hardik

Krunal

Pollard

Behrendorff 

Chahar

Markande 

Bumrah 

 

  • Good to play both the legspinners if Markande is available 
  • If dew is a concern, a seamer can be played. Not sure from when Joseph would be available

Posting one of the posts from the match thread: 

 

Once Malinga is back, I would not mind going with the below:

 

SKY (expendable) 

Rohit (expendable) 

Ishan (wk)

Yuvi / ?

Hardik

Pollard

Chahar

Alzaari 

Behrandorff

Bumrah 

Malinga

 

  • If the top 4 are not clicking, de Kock in place of Malinga

And I thought Behrendoorf was the super find last game! 

 

In context, I know Sunrisers were fading fast and their batsmen having brain fades and yes, there were a couple of drag-ons in the haul but how cool was this young guy Alzarri!

 

Reading comments above and apropos Kishan, I did think this looked like an entirely (apart from the ear jewelry) Ishan from last season. If he was to open, would he be as devastating now? Because yesterday he looked like a much more sedate middle order better.

 

One of the best things about IPL I think is how one moment a team like Sunrisers can look like world beaters, posting 230 and then just a few days later be humbled and bowled out for under a ton.

 

Full credit to the Indians team, they surprised me and were a joy to watch.
