‘It’s lovely to share the dressing room with David Warner,’ says Dubai Capitals’ Dushmantha Chameera

Dubai, 23rd January 2024: Dubai Capitals’ bowler Dushmantha Chameera picked up four wickets in the DP World ILT20 clash against Sharjah Warriors, but it was not enough to counter the batting prowess of Johnson Charles, who helped his team chase down the target of 170 in a closely fought encounter at the Dubai International Stadium on Monday, January 22.

Speaking after the match, the Sri Lankan bowler said, “Johnson Charles is an attacking player. We made the mistake of bowling length balls, which he put away to the boundary. There was a little bit of dew on the pitch after the tenth over and that definitely hurt us.”

This did not stop Chameera from shining with the ball, also taking the wicket of Charles, who scored 93 off 51. Despite the loss, he was optimistic with the various other aspects of his team’s performance. “This is a disappointing result considering that we did well with the bat and on the field. We could’ve defended 170 runs,” added the right-armer.
