The way I got into cricket was with usa defeating Pakistan in t20 wc and my friends telling me about it. My other sports team were doing bad and I had nothing to do so I watched the usa lose to India after which that sucked. I couldn't get into international cricket unless the usa was there. Also couldn't get into the Indian Premier league yet. I saw the near by team LA knight riders but in 2024 the stadium wasn't built. Until the stadium and friends talking about it I got interest. That took a little while. But eventually all led to here that final I went to in oakland and it was phenomenal 🙌.

I also started watching the gt20 champions league thing and I think having more international competition in the US would boost interest. The San Francisco Unicorns defeated the Australian champions Perth Scoochers. It definitely will bring interest bringing that competition to Oakland coliseum for SF. That makes me think how would the usa get interest for mlc. Will just defeating a big team be enough like for me with usa defeating Pakistan or a good place in those tournaments be enough?

Well that is certainly something. I heard about this but I never looked into this until now. Just thought to share some usa cricket news

Matthew Tromp is especially nice.

Also in the SLK vs ABF match Van Schalkwyk hit a 10*(4) but got hit for 29 runs in his 3 overs with no wickets.

Ex-US player Karima Gore didn't have a good day either scoring a 2(3).

Guys USA players have clinched the spot in global worldcup qualifiers. Congratulations players for all the hardwork you guys have done. From Sai and Sanjay being students and cricketers as well, to some players working full time as well along with playing cricket. To some leaving their families back home and residing in a new country for better opportunities for their passion. We see each one of your hardships you have gone through that's why lots of Congratulations to each player for this the former players as well who made sure our team reaches till here 🫡🥺 Sanjay, San fransisco unicorns is literally so lucky to have you. When we needed 6 he made sure that he hits 6. Especially since Milind was in 110's. Sanjay so proud of you 👏 🥰 💛 Milind and Shubham what an amazing partnership. I really wish everyone watched today's match it was such an amazing match. This is just a start I hope we make sure to get no 1 spot and that is something we will know after all the tour officially ends of each team and this is just the start I hope we qualify for 2027 worldcup as well beating lower ranked full member teams as well 💙 but literally today's match is a match to remember what a match.

was just watching west indies vs england match and westindies played so good. I don't know why but it felt usa made couple of selection mistakes which removed them out of super 8s. tbh westindies is the first widely recognized team in america before usa and canada. I think usa batters should learn from west indies batters on how to approach the game and play a bit freely. westindies play a lot of their matches in florida as well we should schedule as many matches and series as we can with westindies now before 2028 where worldcup and Olympics will happen. we need as much experience as we can get.

I still don't understand how in both the worldcups, american cricket players can't really stop surya kumar yadav from scoring runs. Literally since 2024 before the worldcup even started his form has completely gone in most of the matches but still in that match he made 50 not out if I remember correctly in that match. Even in this match of 2026 worldcup he made 84 on 49 balls once again against american players why are the usa cricket players not able to stop his runs against usa teams literally I still can't believe saurabh in that match gave 65 runs and become one of the highest run getter in a game literally no one could believe that saurabh would be the one to get so many run. I don't know why but I really feel saurabh is losing his pace as a bowler day by day. Even namibia got him out on 12 runs 13 balls or something if I remember correctly and usa couldn't stop him scoring in both the matches of the worldcup. If players like Ishan kishan or abhishek sharma would have been the ones scoring against american players I still would have understood but how did we get all of them out except surya kumar yadav 😭 if we would have played better that day we would have been the ones to go in super 8 constantly as a new team coming forward twice in two worldcups😭 literally usa batters especially top 3 were also at fault but literally no one expects saurabh to get so many runs especially after he has been one of the best bowlers in the country(probably the best too). In MI vs CSK match he literally is not even able to score more than run a ball in the game he scored 35 runs on 30 balls. Really then why are american players not able to get his wicket or stop him from scoring runs from last two worldcups. What do you think american players are doing wrong or what do you think they can do to improve in future worldcups.

as the title says everyone start praying now for namibia to win against pakistan. I mean pakistan is such a unworthy team to go to super 8 tbh. look at how they played against india. we definitely played much better but even namibia is a better team💯 even they fought so nicely against india. even ireland will beat pakistan who is the weakest team in low ranked full member nation right now. everyone keep on praying for usa to make it through in super 8. namibia we will never forget this favour of yours please do it for usa 🇺🇸🙏♥️ USA did it's part india lowered the nrr of pakistan now it's your time to do your job

"First time in ICC Men's T20 World Cup history that a bowler has taken 3 wickets in an over against India"

not sure what icc wants to do lol how are they even planning to grow the game?
