New Zealand Flag at AUS vs SL World Cup Match? Cricket Fans’ Fumble in Stadium Cracks Up Internet – News18

Australia celebrated their first triumph in the ongoing 2023 World Cup campaign with a thrilling victory over Sri Lanka, clinching the match by just five wickets in Lucknow on a memorable Monday. With a target of 210 runs, the Australian team sailed smoothly to a score of 215/5 in a mere 35.2 overs, all thanks to the brilliant efforts of Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis. The match, however, was not without its share of drama, as inclement weather, complete with rain and powerful winds, wreaked havoc at the iconic Ekana Stadium. Amidst this chaos, a group of ladies, seemingly Australian fans, unknowingly stole the internet’s spotlight, becoming an unintentional source of amusement.

In a now-viral image, these cricket enthusiasts were seen proudly displaying a New Zealand flag in the stadium. But the question arises, why would they bring a New Zealand flag to an Australia vs. Sri Lanka match? It seems that either these ladies were ardent supporters of the New Zealand team or they fell victim to the universal confusion between the somewhat similar flags of Australia and New Zealand. This oversight only became apparent when the camera focused on them, and sharp-eyed users quickly pointed out the mistake, leading to a wave of humour and amusement on the internet.

One user couldn’t help but tease, “Who’s gonna tell them.” Another chimed in with a humourous remark, “Arey didi New Zealand ka flag leke aaagyi,” while a third, dripping with sarcasm, commented, “NZ flag..Kaun hain Ye log, Kinko support krne aaye hain…”

To the uninformed eye, the flags of Australia and New Zealand may appear remarkably similar, but they are not mere reflections of one another.

New Zealand’s flag proudly showcases four five-pointed, red stars, symbolising the Southern Cross. In contrast, on the Australian flag, those same four stars shine in a crisp white hue, with each star displaying seven points. Intriguingly, six of these star points symbolise Australia’s six states, while the seventh point is designated for the territories. Adding a unique touch, an additional fifth star, adorned with only five points, completes the celestial constellation on these two flags.
