The third and final ODI match of the series was played between Sri Lanka and West Indies was halted briefly over strange scenes that is seldom witnessed on a cricket field. At one point in the match, all the players were seen lying down with their heads down in the field; forcing the match to stop and its video is becoming increasingly viral in social media.
Actually, the last match of the three-match ODI series was also being played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua. In which West Indies decided to bowl first after winning the toss.
What seemed to be a normal cricket match turned 'beezarre' in the 38th over of the innings, when Anderson Phillip of the Windies came to bowl. After the first ball, a swarm of bees suddenly hit the ground. To avoid this, all the players, including the umpire, lay in the ground by stopping the live match in the middle. In this way, the match was stopped for a while and then the game started again. The video of this incident is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Talking about the match, Sri Lanka set a target of 275 runs in front of the Windies while playing first. The target was easily achieved by the Windies due to Darren Bravo's stunning 102-run century innings. Not only this, after winning this match, the Windies also won the Sri Lankan win by winning all the three matches of the three-match ODI series.
In the T20 series, the Windies won 2–1. After this, the Windies also washed Sri Lanka in their home in the ODI series. Now a two-match Test series will be played between the two countries. Which will start from March 21.
