#4 Lasith Malinga - 98 wickets

Lasith Malinga
Lasith Malinga was a difficult proposition to face at the peak of his powers

One of the modern-day greats in limited-overs cricket, Lasith Malinga has also relished bowling under lights. From 70 such matches, he has picked up 98 wickets at an average of 27.36. While his economy-rate of 5.05 may not compare favourably with the other names in this list, it has to be kept in mind that he has operated predominantly in an era of flatter pitches and shorter boundaries.

Malinga has obtained three five-wicket hauls in the second innings of day-night ODIs. Two of those spells stand out due to their quality. During the third ODI of the 2011 bilateral series against Australia in Hambantota, he prised out the wickets of eminent batsmen such as Shane Watson, Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey before cleaning up the tail. In the opening game of the 2014 Asia Cup at Fatullah, he caused a Pakistani lower-order meltdown to eke out a 12-run victory for Sri Lanka.
