Fast bowler Lasith Malinga said goodbye to ODIs in style as his devastating opening spell helped Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by 91 runs. Malinga, known for his blond-tinted hair and the distinctive slingshot action, received a guard of honour from his teammates at the start of the second innings at R Premadasa Stadium.

The 35-year-old did not disappoint his fans as he produced an inswinging yorker to remove Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal with just his fifth ball of the innings. Nuwan Pradeep trapped Mohammad Mithun leg-before before another trademark yorker from Malinga ripped through the defence of Soumya Sarka, leaving Bangladesh’s middle order exposed at 30/3 while chasing a mammoth target of 315. Sri Lanka bowled out Bangladesh for 223 and took 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
