In a stunning upset, Team USA emerged victorious over Pakistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match held at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas. This win puts the U.S. atop Group A alongside India, Canada and Ireland.
This year marks the first time that the United States has qualified for the T20 World Cup, receiving an automatic bid for hosting duties, along with the West Indies. The victory over Pakistan came after a tense super over, showcasing the determination and skill of the American team.
The win is significant for Team USA, as cricket is not widely popular in the country. Despite this, players like Saurabh Netravalker, who works full time at Oracle, are proving that American cricket has potential for growth and success.
