The teams were playing a match of ongoing National T20 Cup 2017.

Earlier this year, the match between Sri Lanka and South Africa was halted for more than 10 minutes after thousands of bees had swarmed the field in Johannesburg.

The players from both the teams hit the ground immediately. The bees were dispersed after officials sprayed repellant around the field.
