During the march between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Ekana Sports City in Lucknow, a massive hoarding fell on spectators in the stands amid terrifying dust storm on Monday (October 16). The match was halted for a while and when the rain and storm stopped, it resumed.
This happened during Sri Lanka’s innings when they elected to bat first after winning the toss. Though they got off to a good start, rain interrupted the match for a short time. And as the stadium got hit by the huge dust storm, banners started falling on the fans.

After the rain, Sri Lanka lost quick wickets and got bundled out for 209 runs. Kusal Perera (78) was the top scorer for Sri Lanka, followed by Pathum Nissanka who scored 61 runs.

After Sri Lanka’s disappointing collapse following a good start, Australia started losing quick wickets. But Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Inglis stitched a valuable stand between them, helping the Aussies steady their ship.
Their partnership ensured Australia their first victory in this World Cup after two back-to-back disappointing defeats, against India and South Africa. Sri Lanka, who lost to South Africa and Pakistan in their previous two matches, is still searching for their first point in this ODI World Cup. Australia will next face Pakistan on October 20, while Sri Lanka will meet the Netherlands on October 20.
