However, after an exciting hour of play, the LPL 2024 final was briefly halted due to an unusual interruption. A dog entered the field of play as the groundsman rushed in to chase him down. However, the dog had none of it as he ran around the ground, dodging the groundsmen successfully. 

Meanwhile, the dog was initially chased away using a buggy cam as a distraction. However, the erratic animal was unhinged and entered the field again while running past the wicketkeeper as the crowd cheered for him.

Eventually, the groundsmen had the last laugh. They caught hold of him and carried him off the field as the LPL 2024 finale resumed. 

Meanwhile, despite early wickets, Bhanuka Rajapaksa scored an astonishing 82 runs off 34 deliveries to steer Galle Marvels to a par total of 184 runs. 

Needless to say, an exciting chase awaits as Jaffna Kings have a steep challenge awaiting in the second half.
