4. 4/43 vs England (2019 World Cup)
In a tournament where Sri Lanka looked the most unfancied side and when they faced the host England going as underdogs.
The island nation shocked the entire cricket world as stunned England to win a 20-run match at Headingly, Leeds.
Sri Lanka posted a modest total of 232 which looked very tough to defend against a dangerous batting line-up of England.
Lasith Malinga took the responsibility on his shoulders and turned the game in his team’s favour using his skills and experience. He dismissed the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root and Jos Buttler.
Malinga could have grabbed another fifer if Kushal Mendis had not missed the catch of Ben Stokes in the 45th over.
