Viral video of ugly fight in stands between Fans after India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 Match

A video doing the rounds on social media on Wednesday claimed that a physical fight broke out in the stands of the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday minutes after the India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup Super 4 match ended.

The 33 second long video shows two fans one wearing a Sri Lanka jersey coming to blows while others made desperate attempts to separate the two. At the start of the video, a lady, wearing what appears to be a police uniform, is seen having a conversation with a small group.

Seconds later, a man in a Sri Lanka jersey is seen attacking another person. The others present somehow manage to separate the two before the video ends.

It was not clear as to what started the brawl or the exact timing of the event but by the look of the empty seats, it does appear to have taken place after the match. The stadium otherwise, was mostly full when India and Sri Lanka were playing in the middle.
