[TD="class: commclass, colspan: 2"]Not sure about the verdict of the game. We are waiting for the official confirmation regarding whether the match has already been awarded to Pakistan or will Sri Lanka bat out the remaining overs with empty stands.[/TD]
[TD="class: commclass, colspan: 2"]This is quite scary for the players. Stones being thrown at a visiting team, it's never good for the game. The security forces are marshalling the crowd. The riot police are currently busy escorting people out of the stands. We will have to wait for an official decision, while everything gets sorted in the stands. Looks like the ground is being evacutated. Meanwhile, both the umpires and the match referee are having a discussion. Apparently, there was some fighting amongst the crowd some 30-35 minutes before this incident as well. Some people were thrown out of the stadium. Thankfully,
the teams are back in the safety of their dressing rooms
.[/TD]
[TD="class: commclass, colspan: 2"]There's a delay in play as a
Pakistani player was hit by a projectile near the rope
. Match Referee Javagal Srinath is also out and supervising the proceedings. The Pakistani players have been brought in, while the security forces take control near the area. There are live visuals showing a full-fledged fight between the supporters. The Pakistani players are sitting in a circle for now. Even Dilshan looks surprised with what is happening.[/TD]
