The USA’s dramatic victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup has stirred excitement around cricket in America. US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, sees cricket's growing popularity, especially among the South Asian diaspora. The remarkable win marks USA's entry into the Super Eights, igniting hopes for cricket's future.

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, heralded this unexpected win as a pivotal moment for the sport in the country.

In a thrilling Super Over on June 6 in Dallas, the co-hosts of the tournament bested former champions Pakistan, leading to their early exit from the competition. The US team's performance has potential to cement cricket's place in American sports culture, especially among the South Asian, Australian, and British communities residing in the country.

Garcetti, now a self-confessed cricket enthusiast, believes the game is on the cusp of a breakthrough in America. He highlighted the inclusion of cricket in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as a significant move to boost its profile, both in the US and worldwide. This success story, he noted, is a testament to cricket's broadening appeal and burgeoning fan base in America.
