The upcoming T20 cricket match between India and the USA in New York is set against a backdrop of growing cricket popularity in the United States. The New York Times and celebrities like Drake have highlighted the sport’s rising profile, spurred by India’s involvement, including stakes in three of the six franchises in the USA’s premier T20 league. The LA Olympics’ inclusion of cricket for 2028, influenced partly by Virat Kohli’s popularity, and the BCCI secretary’s visit to NFL offices, underscore this trend.
The USA’s cricket scene, bolstered by a diverse diaspora, has seen impressive support, with large crowds at events like the Bangladesh-South Africa match. Tight finishes and upsets have generated excitement, with the USA team’s strong performance, including a win over Pakistan, adding to the buzz. They remain undefeated, with a dream of progressing into the Super Eights still alive.
India, coming off a series of victories, remains confident despite player Shivam Dube’s recent form struggles. They view his spin-hitting abilities as crucial for upcoming matches in the West Indies. On the USA side, Corey Anderson, once a cricketing sensation, brings experience despite a five-year hiatus from international cricket.
Both teams are expected to field unchanged line-ups. The match will be played on a settled New York pitch, unlikely to be weather-affected, though potentially low-scoring. This encounter marks the first cricket match between India and the USA, adding a historic element to an already anticipated game. Key players include Aaron Jones, the tournament’s second-highest scorer, and India’s Jasprit Bumrah, with an impressive economy rate and wicket tally.
