Although we have witnessed many unusual scenes at a cricket ground that have most of the time entertaining us. However, an ongoing Under 19 World Cup match witnessed an undesirable or even a scary incident. This eventuality happened in the Plate Semi-Final 2 match between Ireland and Zimbabwe. 

Irish bowler Humphreys was bowling the 6th over of the innings. As soon as he was about to bowl the 5th delivery of the over, an earthquake shook the whole ground. The tremors from this earthquake lasted for about 20 seconds. However, interestingly the players didn't care much about the earthquake and carried on playing. 

On the other hand, commentators seemed nervous with the earthquake making its presence and their fear was visible. However, these earthquakes didn't harm anyone and no one was reported injured by this incident.
