Paddles Pound, Drums Beat: Dragon Boat Festival Heats Up!

The Dragon Boat Festival explodes with vibrant energy! Ornately decorated longboats, carved with fierce dragon heads, cleave through the water. Teams of paddlers, synchronized by a booming drumbeat, surge forward in a thrilling race.

This ancient Chinese tradition commemorates the poet Qu Yuan. Legend says villagers raced their boats to save him from drowning. Today, the races are a test of teamwork and strength.

But the festival isn't just about competition. On land, families gather to devour zongzi, glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The air fills with the scent of sweet and savory fillings.

From the thunderous races to the vibrant community spirit, the Dragon Boat Festival is a celebration of heritage, unity, and delicious traditions.

Boult, renowned for his searing inswingers, ripped through the top order. Southee, equally lethal, targeted the stumps, leaving the Ugandan batsmen exposed. The introduction of spin from Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra further tightened the noose. Ugandan batsmen struggled to find the boundary, managing only three throughout their innings. The lack of experience against such high-quality bowling proved a major hurdle, as none of ...
