Malinga blows Scotland away

Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga took 5/30 to help dismiss Scotland for 101 in the last of the tri-nation one-day internationals in Edinburgh on Wednesday.


Only three home players reached double figures as Malinga and Dhammika Prasad (3/17) systematically dismantled the batting line-up.
Earlier, Sri Lanka reached 284 for seven, after being inserted by the hosts.
Mahela Jayawardene and Dimuth Karunaratne both scored half-centuries for the visitors, but they will be disappointed that they could not build on a decent - though sedate - century opening partnership by these two.
Malinga and Jeevan Mendis, however, enjoyed a brisk outing with the bat, adding 46 runs in the final four overs.
Off-spinner Preston Mommsen continued where he left off in the previous match on Tuesday against Ireland with 2/19 off his four overs.
