Sri Lanka has been a hotbed for fan fights during international matches. Notably, a fan brawl erupted during an ODI match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Colombo in 2015. The incident happened during the 34th over of the innings when a brawl broke out between the south-eastern stand inside the stadium between fans.

They threw stones at one another. Not just that, things turned uglier when a stone landed in the field. As a result, the police had to evacuate people to bring things under control.

This led to the match being stopped for 30 minutes. However, the game restarted only after the match referee, Javagal Srinath, gave the go-ahead. In the end, the police had brought things under control which led to the smooth proceeding of the game further ahead.
