New Delhi: It was expected to be the biggest grudge match in the World Cup, and that animosity was on display among rival fans at the Sydney Club after India beat Pakistan on Sunday evening.
Groups of fans from either side had gathered to watch the live broadcast of the match that was played at the Adelaide Oval. But after India beat Pakistan by 76 runs, their sixth victory in a row in World Cup matches against the archrivals, emotions got the better of rival fans.
A report published in Sydney Morning Herald read, "Four people were taken to hospital with a range of injuries after a wild brawl broke out between about 40 fans watching the match on a big screen at the club on Military Road about 9.30pm."
"A witness said the brawl spilled out on to the street before police and paramedics arrived. Police said three people were taken to Westmead Hospital and one was taken to Auburn Hospital with a range of injuries that were not life-threatening," the report added.
Police are now reviewing security camera footage of the fight but no arrests have been made at this stage.
