NewsMobile verified the viral video and found it to be AI-generated.
To investigate the claim, we extracted key frames from the viral clip and conducted a keyword search. However, we found no credible media reports or official statements confirming any such clash outside the stadium in Colombo.
A closer examination of the video revealed multiple inconsistencies. Notably, the word “Pakistan” appears misspelled on a man’s jersey — a common red flag in AI-generated visuals.
