That USA win was biggest upset in cricket world cups.

When I lived in Irving, Texas there was a large Muslim population--I believe most from Pakistan. Anyhow, I would be sometimes see people playing cricket in the park across the creek from the apartment complex where I lived. It was certainly an upset to beat a former world championship team so I can understand the increased crowds for the following games.
