NEW DELHI: The World Cup clash between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, scheduled to take place in the national capital, hangs in the balance due to severe air pollution. The well-being of the players is now taking precedence over the contest as a thick layer of toxic haze has once again enveloped the city, casting doubts over the match's feasibility.
Both participating teams, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, have been forced to cancel their training sessions at least once due to the abysmal Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi. The hazardous air conditions have not only raised concerns about the match but also evoke memories of past incidents when players had to wear masks to protect themselves.
