When the fans started watching the ongoing second season of the Road Safety World Series 2022, they were expecting their heroes to wield their magic. A lot of them have managed to live up to the fans' expectations. On the other hand, Bangladesh Legends players have something which is mostly expected from school-level cricketers. Apparently, in a game against Sri Lanka Legends, they fumbled very badly in the field.

During the Lankan Lions' innings, a batter tried to play a sweep shot with the spine. However, the unexpected extra bounce from the surface meant that the ball lobbed up in the air. To the batter's luck, the ball went over the wicketkeeper and far enough not to be caught. What turned out after this was something extremely hilarious. Apparently, the ball spun after landing which is why the fielder at the short third man had to chase the ball.

These scenarios gave the batters to complete two runs. However, the fielder was casual in approach which is why he didn't throw the ball to the keeper. This gave the Lankan batters an opportunity to score the third run. In reply, the Bangladesh fielder panicked and sent in a wild throw. This meant that the Lankan duo managed to complete the fourth run.

In reply, Bangladesh failed to chase down the total. Only Tushar Imran scored a fifty while other couldn't score substantially. With this win, Sri Lanka have qualified for the semi-final and will play against the West Indies.
