Snake During SL vs BAN Game (Source: @bose_abhimanyu/X.com)
Among all the common things in the world, witnessing a snake during a game in Sri Lanka is one of them. During the ongoing first ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Colombo, a snake made a scintillating entry at the venue.
Halt In Play As Snake Enters The Venue
It all happened during the second innings of the Bangladesh chase, after 2.4 overs, as a venomous snake made a solid entry at the ground at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, during the first ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
It is worth noting that Sri Lanka has been home to plenty of snakes, who have all made an appearance most of the times, during the games that happen at the Island nation.
Previously, during the first Test match between these two nations at Galle, a snake charmer was seen at the venue with his cobras.
Snakes have been a constant feature even during the Lanka Premier League (LPL) games in the past, as they have strolled out at the ground on many occasions, forcing the authorities to remove them with care, as players have often gotten into alert mode.
Just like on previous occasions, fortunately, no casualties occurred, as the snake was taken out without any hassle, while there was no player stationed at the deep-extra cover region.
Sri Lanka In Control As Bangladesh Falter With The Bat
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 244 in 49.2 overs, as they put up 244 on the board with a century from skipper Charith Asalanka, who smashed a brilliant 106.
Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib with the ball, picked four and three wickets respectively, whereas in reply, Bangladesh had a decent start with 100 for just one loss, after which they kept losing wickets at regular intervals, one after the other, and, by the time of writing, were eight down after 25 overs with just 119 on the board, and 126 more required for victory.
