Team USA beats Pakistan in Cricket World Cup

Jun 6, 2024 | hawaiipublicradio.org | Bytemarks Cafe |Ammad Omar

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:And now, it's time for cricket. While it's not often we get to the world's second most popular sport, there was just huge news today. Team USA just pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the sport's history. They beat Pakistan in super over - the baseball equivalent of extra innings - in group play in this year's World Cup. And just to put this into an American sports context, Pakistan losing to the U.S. is like the Boston Red Sox losing to the Durham Bulls.
