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.
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.
