When it comes to fandom, cricket is hugely popular in both India and Pakistan.
But Brazil of cricket would be Australia as they have most amount big international trophies and won the previous world cup too against favourites India in India in 2023.
So like beating England or Spain in soccer?
World politics isn't my strength but I'm pretty sure there's more beef between India and Pakistan than USA and Pakistan.
Really hoping they make it to the semifinals, would be insane to see USA vs Afghanistan
Also excited for USA vs England this Sunday.
Yeah what? We have a cricket team?
Things make a lot more sense when you check out the ethnicities of the players 😂😭

I know what you mean and in a way it's almost insulting. Like there are nations who trully love certain sports and they take it as part of their national pride ... and then there is US. Where you wonder "why are you guys even here? Why are you taking fun from people who enjoy this game? What do you even take from this?"
Where I live we have the same situation with ice hockey - our entire nation basically stops for IIHF world hockey championship, everyone watches it and we celebrate every win. And then there is US. Which regularly wins some medal and you have a feeling that no one in the US even notices.
Not to be a dick, but the people on the US's National Cricket team do love the sport and deserve a shot at winning as much as anyone else
I feel like Australia did this to the field hockey world. North-western European countries like Norway and Denmark seem to love the sport, but we had the top spot for quite a few years. Barely anyone in Australia gave a single shit. Because everyone plays soccer, rugby, cricket or Aussie rules. Kinda sucked as a hockey player.
Top picture is Americans when they win the World Series of one of the many sports that only they play.
Or which other countries play, but we don't include them.
Looking at you, baseball.
We include the other countries by putting all their players on US teams.
World = USA + Canada
Of course.
5th option : "I don't give a shit."
Crickets.
