The ongoing ICC world cup has faced several comas and full stops in several matches. Earlier it was rain because of which a match was either canceled or stopped in the middle. But in yesterday’s match between South Africa and Sri Lanka, a swarm of bees entered into the ground and suspended the match for few moments. All the players present on the field along with the umpire, lied flat on the ground to avoid any sting. The bees entered the ground in the 48th over of the first inning.
This is not the first time when bees stopped a cricket match. A similar incident happened in 2017 also, when the game was paused for a few minutes because of these tiny yet dangerous insects.
The official twitter handle of Cricket World Cup shared a photo of the ground on Twitter and joked, “Bees two nations have a history!#SLvSA | #CWC19”.

However, the incident triggered laughter and memes on the internet. Memers are explaining the players’ reaction on the field in their own unique way.
