[Saba Sports News] In a surprising twist, a recent Celebrity Cricket League match in Bangladesh turned into a WWE-style showdown rather than the usual cricketing spectacle. The intense altercation unfolded between teams led by filmmakers Mostafa Kamal Raz and Dipankar Dipon, leaving fans both shocked and intrigued.
The brawl erupted following a controversial decision by the match umpire, triggering a fiery confrontation that eventually escalated into a full-blown fight. Six individuals were injured and had to be hospitalized as a result of the altercation, which was caught on camera.
Such player confrontations are extremely rare in cricket, and while disagreements and heated exchanges among fans are not uncommon, players engaging in physical altercations on the field are highly unusual. It was clear that emotions ran high during this Celebrity Cricket League match, with one prominent celebrity in attendance visibly upset over what they saw as a major umpiring error.
This incident was not an isolated event, as earlier this month, another unfortunate incident unfolded during a thrilling India-Sri Lanka Super-4 match at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium. Chaos erupted in the stadium’s stands shortly after India’s 41-run victory over Sri Lanka.
In viral video footage, a Sri Lankan spectator can be seen provoking a physical altercation with another fan, leading to a series of punches. A female police officer attempted to defuse the situation by engaging in conversation with a small group of agitated fans.
While the exact cause of this altercation remains unclear, it appears to have occurred after the match had ended, as the stands were beginning to empty. Fellow spectators had to step in to separate the brawling individuals. India emerged victorious in the contest and would later go on to win the tournament’s final against Sri Lanka.
