Two unbeaten teams in Group A of the ICC T20 World Cup, India and USA, are primed for a showdown in New York on June 12. India’s flawless run was expected, but USA’s surprising success, including a notable victory over Pakistan, turned heads. Pakistan, now in a precarious position, suffered losses to both teams, with USA fielding six players of Indian origin in their recent match.

These wins are a significant morale booster for cricket in USA. Many American players were present at the high-stakes India-Pakistan game, hoping for an Indian victory to bolster their chances of advancing to the Super Eight, and were visibly pleased with India’s triumph.
