The semi-final between India and Sri Lanka atSophia Gardens in Cardiff saw individuals, possibly Tamil Youth activists,[20] running onto the pitch with flags ofTamil Eelam and banners protesting against the Sri Lankan team playing in the United Kingdom.[21] The first invasion occurred in the 50th over of the Sri Lanka innings, but the two interlopers were soon overpowered by the security staff. However, the second invasion saw at least six protesters run onto the field from various angles from the River Taff End of the ground.[22]
The protests continued after the match had finished, and a fight broke out outside the ground between protesters and supporters in a manner similar to the earlier protests at a group stage game atThe Oval.[21] Later, hundreds of members ofBritain's Tamil community held up the Sri Lankan team bus after the encounter and raised anti-Sri Lankan government slogans. No protests were shown to the Indian team and their bus left as scheduled.[22]
