Some people believe last month’s U.S. win over Pakistan in cricket is among the most unlikely upsets in the history of sports.

The World Cup match on June 6 captivated the attention of the world. NPR’s Juana Summers said it was like MLB’s Boston Red Sox losing to the AAA-affiliate Durham Bulls.

While the sport is popular internationally, it is not among the four major sports in North America: Football, basketball, soccer and hockey.
