Four people were injured when a brawl broke out between cricket fans watching the India-Pakistan World Cup match on television at a Sydney RSL club.

Police said the fight at the Merrylands RSL club last night involved up to 40 people.

Three people were taken to Westmead hospital and another was taken to Auburn hospital for treatment to non-life threatening injuries.

Two men, aged 18 and 20, were arrested on Monday afternoon and are expected to be charged with riot and affray offences. Officers say more arrests are likely.



"Four people were conveyed to hospital with injuries which included lacerations and abrasions," Inspector Tamara Kirby said.

"Those people have since been released from hospital. Investigating police are working closely with the club to indentify the persons involved."

The game between the fierce rivals was one of the most highly anticipated of the tournament, drawing an estimated global viewing audience of one billion.

Merrylands RSL club CEO Bryn Miller said nearly 180 people gathered to watch the live televised match in one of the club's rooms last night.

India won the match by 76 runs amid a frenzied atmosphere at the Adelaide Oval, extending its World Cup record over Pakistan to six wins from as many matches.

"It drew a large crowd, it was a very popular match," said Mr Miller.

"Unfortunately some people allowed their spirit to expose the ugly side to their behaviour."

He said the CCTV footage shows two people started the brawl by throwing a stool before running out of the club.

"There were definitely two perpetrators who were seen in the CCTV, pick up a stool and walk some distance and throw it at a person," he said.

"That particular perpetrator and his friend also threw a chair and they immediately absconded from the club."

"That's how the incident started."

CCTV camera footage to be handed to police

Mr Miller said the club had over 220 CCTV cameras, which would help police identify the people who started the brawl and others who were involved.

"I would say in their exit from the club, they've ran past at least 20 cameras," he said.

Mr Miller said the fight was unacceptable and the club would look banning members who were involved.

"We won't accept that type of behaviour and they certainly won't be welcome back to the club," he said.

"If they're members they'll be cited, if they're visitors they'll be barred.

"They'll never set foot again in the club."

Mr Miller said in over two decades working at the club he had never seen anything like it.

"I've worked here for 23 years and I'm embarrassed and ashamed about what's happened," said Mr Miller.

"I've never seen the like of it before and I hope I never see it again."
