Malinga, who retired from Test cricket in 2011 and played his farewell one-day international in July has surpassed Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi’s record, who previously held the record with 98 scalps to his name.

Malinga’s record was, however, overshadowed by New Zealand’s 5-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the 1st T20I.
