1.5 big inswinger goes straight through, off stump goes flying! 7/2

MP Stoinis	c Quiney b Malinga	9	8	1	0	112.50
3.3 back of a length on off, tries to work through the leg side and gets a big leading edge straight to gully for the easiest of catches 16/4
HWR Cartwright	c Hussey b Malinga	17	16	2	0	106.25
9.4 the slower ball does it, just took a tiny bit off it and that had him through the shot too soon, scooping it to mid wicket for an easy catch 55/6
TIF Triffitt†	lbw b Malinga	4	9	0	0	44.44
11.2 another slower ball does the trick, just dips a little bit and gets past the bat with a full toss, plumb again...incredible from Malinga! 58/8
NM Coulter-Nile	lbw b Malinga	0	2	0	0	0.00
9.6 as plumb as plumb can be! Another brilliant slower ball, this time a yorker, completely deceives him and catches him in front of middle 55/7

Match notes

Melbourne Stars innings
Rain stopped play: 29/0 off 2 overs, 15 overs lost
After the rain delay the umpires deemed that the conditions were fit for a resumption of play to allow for the minimum duration for a definite result of five overs for the second innings. The revised target was 20 in 5 overs and because Melbourne Stars had already passed that score the match was over. The match referee incorrectly sent the players out to face one more ball (a dot ball bowled by Cartwright to Quiney). Cricket Australia later admitted the error and the extra ball was expunged as it affected the net run rate.
