The Aussie still need runs . Bangladesh 68 all out and Starc 6 wkts for 12

The Darkest Final 🌒

Barbados. April 2007. Australia vs Sri Lanka.

The day the World Cup Final was played in TOTAL DARKNESS.

Heavy rain in Barbados pushed the match deep into the night. 

The stadium had NO floodlights.

With Sri Lanka trailing, the umpires suddenly stopped play for bad light and declared Australia the winners. 

Aussies started celebrating.

Wait... NO! 

The officials realized they misread the rulebook. The game wasn’t legally over yet. 

They needed 3 more overs or everyone had to come back tomorrow. 

Both captains refused to come back the next day. 

So, Sri Lanka agreed to bat out the final overs in near-total pitch blackness against Aussie spinners they can barely see.

Australia still took the trophy, but the match officials took a suspension for the most chaotic finish in cricket history!
