Malinga equalled Afridi’s record of 98 wickets with a trademark in-swinging yorker to bowl the dangerous Kiwi opener Colin Munro in the first over of New Zealand’s innings, and later took the crucial wicket of in-form Colin de Grandhomme, who was well set and batting on 44, with another stunning yorker to reach 99 wickets and become the highest T20I wicket-taker.
The previous record-holder Afridi played 99 matches for his 98 T20I wickets, while Malinga’s 99th wicket came in only his 74th game.
