Minutes after India’s thrilling 41-run victory over Sri Lanka in an intense Asia Cup Super 4 showdown, a shocking incident unfolded in the stands of Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium, leaving spectators in disbelief.

In a startling video clip, a Sri Lankan fan can be seen launching a ferocious fist attack on another spectator. The targeted individual retaliated with a few punches of his own, igniting a chaotic scene in the stadium. Amid the bedlam, a lady police officer is spotted engaging in a conversation with a small group of fans. The motive behind this fistfight remains unclear, but it appeared to have occurred post-match, as the stands began to empty. Eventually, fellow spectators had to intervene to separate the two combatants, bringing an end to the altercation.

Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the hero of the day for India, as they managed to secure a hard-fought victory. Defending a total of 213 runs, India bowled out Sri Lanka for 172, silencing the boisterous home crowd at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium.

Kuldeep’s stellar performance included claiming four crucial wickets, including the final two that sealed the victory. With this triumph, India earned their spot in the upcoming Sunday final, to be held at the same venue.

This win marked India’s second consecutive Super Four triumph in the Asia Cup, and it also brought an end to Sri Lanka’s impressive streak of 13 consecutive ODI victories.

Sri Lanka’s Dunith Wellalage, despite being on the losing side, was the standout performer. He secured his maiden ODI five-wicket haul and remained unbeaten on 42 when he ran out of batting partners. Wellalage, who was named the man of the match, expressed his gratitude to his team-mates and coaching staff for their unwavering support.
