So the Nassau stadium is sold out for India vs Pakistan and CitiField is expecting 30,000 for a free watch party. If I see any South Asians on the street before 3 pm or so l'll assume it's because they hate cricket.

I want a time machine. Go back to when the USA was granted co-hosting rights for the T20 World Cup.

 

Tell people "After two matches, USA will have 4x the points of England", watch heads explode. Then follow up with "They have infinite% points more compared to Pakistan" and you'd be hauled off to the cricket funny farm.

Bangladesh were basically three inches away from a massive win over SA in the final over. Proteas successfully defend the lowest chase score in T20 World Cup history (113).

Meanwhile, in Group A the weather is officially a factor. State of emergency has been declared in South Florida due to torrential rain, and the final three Group A matches (USA/IRE, CAN/IND, IRE/PAK) may not even be playable. If that happens, the USA will qualify for the Super 8 with their no-result point and Ireland/Pakistan are out.

I heard them trying to explain on 5 live how England can still qualify ahead of Australia and it involves something called Run ratio or similar I'd never heard of before.

USA qualified for the super 8s with the match with Ireland being rained out 

It hasn't actually been called, but they're shaving things awfully close. 2:15 pm local time would be the latest they can attempt a five-over match.

one hidden bit of extra good news from the BBC article on the washout:

 

The Super 8s start on Wednesday 19 June with USA, who have now also qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup by virtue of reaching the last eight here, facing South Africa in Antigua.

England just beat Oman in only 3.1 overs.

This had to be the shortest 20/20 match at international level of all time excluding ones impacted by weather right?
