A day after Bangladesh called off their training session, Sri Lanka, too, decided to stay indoors rather than practise on Saturday due to the rising air pollution in New Delhi.
After refusing to go for practice on Friday, Bangladesh braved the pollution to hit the nets on Saturday evening. Coaches and players arrived to the practice areas for a light session in protective face masks.
The two teams are set to play each other in their penultimate preliminary stage match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. For the second consecutive day, Delhi’s air pollution was declared as ‘severe’ on Friday, with the 24-hour average AQI (Air Quality Index) hitting a high of 475 at 11 am, and staying above 450 till at least 5 pm.
