Minutes after India's 41-run win over Sri Lanka in an Asia Cup Super 4 clash, a huge brawl broke out between fans in the stands of Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium. In the video, a Sri Lankan can be seen launching a fist attack on another spectator, who retaliated with a few jabs of his own. Amid all the chaos, a lady police officer is seen having a conversation with a small group of fans.

The two had to be separated by the other specatators present at the scene.

"It Was Becoming A Hassle": Ravichandran Ashwin's Intriguing Take On ODI Powerplay Rules

Ravichandran Ashwin believes that the new ODI Powerplay rules that were implemented in 2015 were aimed at curbing India's dominance on the world stage on the back of their spin attack. In a recent interaction, Ashwin recalled that India were a dominant side back in 2013-14 with the spinners playing a massive role but it all changed with the implementation of the new rules. With two new balls allowed and changes in field restrictions, the game became slightly tilted towards the batters and Ashwin remarked that it was one of the main reasons why the games started becoming quite high-scoring.

"After The India Match, We Were...": Pakistan Coach On Team Morale Ahead Of Sri Lanka Clash

Pakistan bowling coach Morne Morkel feels that Pakistan spinners will make a comeback against Sri Lanka after a disappointing overall display in the Asia Cup. Pakistan are up against the reigning Asia Cup champions who are still well-placed to defend their title if they can return to winning ways. By virtue of a superior net run rate to Pakistan, Sri Lanka are well placed to reach this year's final and can earn a place in the decider by not tasting defeat in their final Super Four match against Babar Azam's side on Thursday.
