I know the pitch sucks, but the local economy on Long Island is excited, especially for the India/Pakistan match. https://www.newsday.com/long-island/towns/cricket-t20-world-cup-economy-udqs7vk4

An India-Pakistan match can be the biggest match of any tournament for providing a boost to the local economies.

This is not a small ground there. It can occupy 34000 people and it's a housefull on the match day already. Noe talk about from where do we get these 34000 people?

Most of these are Indians and Pakistanis who are living in the USA. I've listened that the car parking prices inside the stadium is already full and the price for car parking has already shot up to $1200.

The atmosphere of India Pakistan match is likely to be compared with France-germany or Brazil-Argentina football matches..

Does it get violent? New York has a long history of immigrant rivalries getting ugly.

Fierst rivalry is there, words get exchanged, and stuff but it never gets to that stage. Off the field players and fans are very friendly and respect eachother but on-field its a different story.

No, it never gets to that level. But, yes there may be little bit of cross hooting from either sides. Indians have always been winning on the pitch and in the stands!!

Indeed. The greatest rivalry ever existed. The mother of all games... Nothing gets bigger than that. India has had the best of Pakistan in World Cup matches but if we look at overall statistics Pakistan still have better numbers than India. Yesterday, is going to be electric! A very rare chance for US based Indo-Pak cricket fans to witness the greatest rivalry. As always, in the World Cups India are favourites and Pakistan could well be out of the tournament if they lose to India and USA wins their game against Ireland and don't lose to India by a big margin.
