Dushamntha Chameera’s beauty breaks Kusal Perera
Chameera, renowned for her pace and accuracy, delivered a beauty to send her Sri Lankan compatriot back to the pavilion. Bowling over the wicket, Chameera bowled a good length ball that zeroed over the off-stump.
Perera, an aggressive left-handed batter, failed to move his feet effectively and tried to defend with a slightly angled bat. Unfortunately for him, the ball caught a thick inside edge and pulled the leg stump. The Capitals celebrated happily, knowing they had taken the wicket of a key player.
This dismissal was a textbook example of top-class fast bowling, leaving Perera no room for error. Chameera’s fiery opening spell set the tone for Dubai Capitals, who looked to capitalize on the early collapse.
