Strong gusts of wind at a stadium in the northern Indian city of Lucknow during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match between Australia and Sri Lanka on Monday tore off advertising banners and scaffolding from the roof, leaving fans scrurrying for cover.
The match was interrupted by chaotic scenes as spectators ran for their safety. Luckily no one was injured as the stadium – which hosted its first World Cup game last week – was relatively empty.
