Malinga almost scuppers Proteas win
12 April 2012
South Africa completed an extraordinary one-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at Providence Stadium after Lasith Malinga's historic feat almost instigated one of cricket's great comebacks.
The world number one South Africans were just four short of their 210-run victory target when Malinga became the first bowler in international cricket to take four wickets in as many balls.
With tension brewing in the middle, Robin Peterson edged a four off Malinga to hand South Africa their first points in the Super Eight standings.
