In videos shared by locals on social media, people can be seen bursting crackers and celebrating Sri Lanka’s victory.

This comes days after Afghanistan fans were seen disrupting the chairs from their situation and throwing them randomly at Pakistan fans and a few hitting them on their back. The incident took place after Pakistan defeated Afghanistan in the Super 4 clash last week at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
