Sri Lanka paceman Lasith Malinga on Sunday became the highest wicket-taker in Twenty20 internationals with his 99th scalp during first match against New Zealand.
Malinga bowled Colin Munro in the first over of the New Zealand chase to break Shahid Afridi´s record of 98 wickets.
The 36-year-old then sent Colin de Grandhomme, for 44, to achieve the feat in his 74th T20 match of his illustrious career.
Afridi, a leg-spinner who also captained Pakistan, played 99 T20 matches.
