Galle also saw a protest recently on July 9 which was on the second day of the test between Sri Lanka and Australia but the match wasn't affected because of it as the scale of the crowd wasn't as big as during the Colombo protests.

While there have been no such incidents where a cricket match has been disrupted due to the protests but there is a possibility since the demonstrations have only increased over a period of time. Two of the three T20Is, and three of the ODIs from the Australia tour were all played at Khettarama stadium in Colombo and there were no incidents as the matches were uniformly attended by fans as well.
