And amid the final phase of the Sri Lanka innings, the Ekana Stadium donned the look of a post-apocalyptic movie scene when dust storm in Lucknow halted the match for a brief few moments on Monday..

So strong were the winds that the World Cup hoardings attached to the roof of the Lucknow Stadium fell on the stands along with other objects as spectators scampered to safety..

The camera also caught Australian stars Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell looking at the incident from afar with sheer shock..
