Virat Kohli of India catches a ball during the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup West Indies & USA 2024 match between India and Pakistan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on June 09, 2024 in New York, New York.Painting with a wide-brush, you could say the vast majority of American sports fans know what cricket looks like, but have no idea how it works.
America’s upset not only shook up the landscape of the tournament, but perhaps it brought a swath of new fans into the sport. Time will tell there.

India’s Jasprit Bumrah celebrates after taking a wicket during the ICC men’s Twenty20 World Cup 2024 group A cricket match between India and Pakistan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in East Meadow, N.Y. on June 9.The most obvious is that India just struggled to beat Pakistan on Sunday. The word ‘choke’ may get tossed around in sports too often these days, but there’s no other word to describe the performance from Pakistan against their biggest rivals.
You’d imagine that India will be sharper than they were on Sunday, but the pitch has been absolute chaos in New York.An unpredictable wicket is a field-leveler because runs will be hard to come by. That’s a massive boost for the Americans, who would really struggle to keep up with India’s batters if all things are equal.
