#3 Malinga Bandara, 4/31

Sri Lanka vs South Africa, Hobart 2006

Coming in after the 20th over, Malinga Bandara bagged 4/31 against South Africa as Sri Lanka reached the tri-series final in 2006

Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 257/9 in 50 overs (Atapattu 80, Sangakkara 62; Hall 3/50) beat South Africa 181 in 43.4 overs (Smith 67; Bandara 4/31, Vaas 2/17) by 76 runs

In the last match of the round-robin stage of the tri-series between hosts, Australia, Sri Lanka and South Africa, both visiting sides were in a must-win situation to make it to the final alongside Australia. Marvan Atapattu batted first at Hobart and put on two crucial partnerships: 52 with fellow opener Sanath Jayasuriya and 123 with number three Kumar Sangakkara. Southpaw Sangakkara departed for 62 before captain Atapattu left for 80, a wicket which sparked a collapse to limit Sri Lanka to 257/9.

20 overs into the reply, Sri Lanka introduced leg-spinner Malinga Bandara in place of batsman Chamara Kapugedera. Immediately, Bandara struck with the scalp of the opposition captain Graeme Smith for 67. Three balls later, Justin Kemp fell for a first ball duck; as if that were not enough, Bandara then got a set Ashwell Prince for 22 and Shaun Pollock for 15 to hurt South Africa's chase. That gave Sri Lanka a place in the final and Bandara his career-best figures of 4/31.
