I'm Indian so I follow India, but yeah this was a massive result. Great game.

It's nice to see the game growing a little bit in the states. Also, the USA team has some Indians on it lol.

I remember watching this game when I lived in Sydney Australia…took me months to figure it out but eventually I did. I actually played a few games when I was there for fun, hardest thing was to remember not to drop the bat when going for a run  :laugh:

I didn’t realize how strategic the whole thing is over days where you have to take everything including weather, the wear on the ball, the condition of the wicket and the fitness levels of your bowlers into account…this is the hit and giggle version of it though I guess. Go USA!  :police:

Sure it was the T20 division but it is a massive upset.

On the upset scale it’s somewhere between the Miracle on Ice and Pakistan beating Team USA at baseball.

A friend of mine that lives in Washington DC said he went to an English pub for the England EURO was surprised to see that they had the game on cricket. Knowing it was the finals makes sense.
