It's a rivalry that has spanned generations, and if you're American, it's probably an unfamiliar sport. But the India versus Pakistan cricket game is one of the biggest sport rivalries in the world. It's like Super Bowl on steroids. For France, 364 days a year, then one day we're not. On Sunday, the two countries matched up at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in East Meadow, and the arena was packed. Some people are saying to build the stadium only for this one particular game that we're having today. These guys traveled from Houston. Pakistan is going to win, man. Inshallah, Pakistan is going to win. The rivalry stems from decades-old political conflict, but today it's more about being with loved ones while supporting your team. There is no tension. There's going to be lots of love. There's going to be a lot of fun. Lots of love. Lots of fun. Togetherness, joy of sports brings everything together. For those who couldn't get tickets to see the match in person, they weren't completely out of luck. The New York Mets and Coca-Cola hosted a free watch party at Citi Field. On this side of the stadium, we have the India fans. Across the way, Pakistan fans. Both fans have a great view of the live stream, considering Citi Field has the largest video board in all of Major League Baseball. You know how they say the Yankees, but it's bigger than that. It's like two, you know, Yankee, India and Pakistan, two neighboring countries, and history goes way back. We love cricket, and we wanted to see how, how, how Pakistan does today. When India and Pakistan play, the energy is something else. They're like little siblings that grew up together. This family is cheering for both teams. The wife is from India and the husband from Pakistan. Whoever wins, we're winning. Happy for you. Someone's going to be happy. Very happy. Very happy. And for most fans, political resentment has faded, but the rivalry on the field will always remain. At Citi Field, Michelle Ross, Fox 5 News.
