Australia’s Cricket World Cup clash with Sri Lanka on Monday night was briefly put on hold when a large section of hoarding fell from the top of Ekana Cricket Stadium. Spectators scattered as the signage came crashing down and landed on the seats of one of the grandstands late in the first innings of the match.
Stadium hoarding comes down during Cricket World Cup match. Play had to be stopped while fans were ushered away from the hazard. Heavy winds are believed to have been the problem. An unwelcome dust storm also swept across the ground during the first innings. While the signage itself appeared relatively harmless, the metal frames holding them up came down with it, and posed a serious safety hazard. Nobody was injured during the incident, but the players were left stunned.
