US stuns Pakistan in T20 World Cup, cricket fever rises

The USA’s dramatic victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup has electrified the American cricket scene. Eric Garcetti, the US Ambassador to India, called this unexpected victory a pivotal moment for sports in the country.

In a thrilling Super Over on June 6 in Dallas, the tournament’s co-hosts defeated former champions Pakistan, leading to their early exit from the competition. The U.S. team’s performance has the potential to cement cricket’s place in American sporting culture, especially among the South Asian, Australian and British communities living in the country.

Garcetti, now a self-professed cricket enthusiast, believes the sport is poised to take off in America. He highlighted cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as a major step toward raising its profile both in the U.S. and globally. This success story, he noted, is a testament to cricket’s growing appeal and fan base in America.
