Chameera has evolved into one of the finest bowlers in T20I cricket for Sri Lanka. The tall right-arm pacer, who played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the UAE leg of Indian Premier League 2021, was bought by new franchise Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 2 crore at the IPL 2022 mega auction in February.
Earlier in the day, Sri Lanka posted 183 on the board, demolishing the Indian pacers at the death. Pathum Nissanka (75) and captain Dasun Shanka (47*) stitched a crucial 58-run stand as Sri Lanka collected 72 runs in the last 4 overs.
Fast bowler Harshal Patel was taken to the cleaners at the death as he leaked 52 runs in his 4-overs spell. Shanaka was on fire at the death as he hit 5 sixes for his 47 not out that came in just 19 balls.
The visitors, who were hammered by 62 runs in the T20I series opener in Lucknow on Thursday., certainly came up with an improved effort in their must-win 2nd T20I.
