It was virtually India versus India at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York as the T20 World Cup favorites qualified for the Super Eight stage with a victory over the United States, a team dominated by immigrants, many of whom come from India.
The stadium was buzzing with blue energy during the match and while the Indian fans dominated the crowd, there were also some American supporters in attendance, many of them of Indian descent and some even wearing jerseys with the names of both teams on them.
Vinay Manhass traveled from North Carolina especially for the match, wearing a hat with the US and Indian flags on it and the American flag in his hand. Manhass told USA TODAY that he has lived in the country for more than 30 years and while part of him supports his home team, he was hoping in today's match that the US would win.
“I'm so happy that cricket has finally made its way to the US,” said Manhass, adding that he sees interest in the sport increasing among his American friends.
Several couples were also spotted in the crowd, with one half of the couple wearing the Indian team jersey and the other half wearing a US cricket team jersey.

Wednesday's game also marked the final match at New York's stadium, which will soon be dismantled and the area cleared.
