Fact Check
BOOM broke the video into its key frames and ran a reverse image search on a few frames; we found the same video uploaded on a YouTube channel on September 24, 2018 with the title, ''Thousands of Indians Singing in Unity in Dubai Cricket Stadium'' The description of the video mentions that it is from an India vs Pakistan match in Dubai.
We found a few other videos on YouTube uploaded in September, 2018 claiming it is from the India vs Pakistan match in the Dubai Stadium. Further, we found news reports on the India vs Pakistan cricket match that was held as part of the Asia Cup, 2018 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
BOOM also compared the stadium structure shown in the viral video with the set-up of Gabba and found that the stadium shown in the viral clip has a ring of light on top; this resembles the structure of the Dubai Stadium. The stadium structure of Gabba does not have such a ring of light.
